Dr. Keith Naylor is a gastroenterologist and health services researcher in the Division of Gastroenterology & Hepatology at UI Health. Dr. Naylor’s major areas of interest include using administrative health data to investigate small-area variation in the utilization of endoscopic and non-endoscopic forms of colorectal cancer screening.

He is particularly interested in exploring these factors among urban communities and within racial and ethnic minority population subgroups.
