Abstrakt:	Comprehensive evaluation of cancer screening activities based on individual experiences is urgently needed to address the burden of cancer among Métis people. In this co-designed and co-led study, a cancer screening questionnaire developed for Métis people to evaluate their cancer screening histories and to explore barriers and facilitators to cancer screening was used. Adult Métis Albertans were invited to participate in the anonymous survey through a multi-modal strategy used for community consultations. Descriptive analyses compared responses between regions, age groups and geographic locations. In total, 370 participants who identified as Métis consented and contributed responses between 12 September and 2 December 2022. Female respondents reported higher rates of cervical and breast cancer screening (>94%) and lower rates of colorectal cancer screening (67-78%). Most of the barriers and facilitators were rated as very important, especially access to reliable and accurate information on screening, risks and benefits of cancer screening, explanation of the test results or procedures, trust in their health care provider(s) and health care system and access to a primary health care provider. This study fills a crucial gap that can inform targeted interventions to increase cancer screening awareness and rates among Métis Albertans and reduce their cancer burden.
