“…While having knowledge about the subject is stated to be one of the factors affecting the participation in CRC screening programs [28], a statistically significant difference was found in the present study between the status of having knowledge about CRC and CCSABS total mean score and the mean scores of almost all subscales, which was compatible with the literature. In McCaffery et al 's study, they report that there was a significant difference between knowledge and participation in CRC screenings and being willing to the participation; whereas, the individuals with low level of knowledge were not willing to participate in screenings and displayed negative attitudes [21].…”

This does not comply with another studies by Almadi et al, and Qumseya et al, found that no differences seen between males and females with regard to the willingness to undergo early CRC screening, nor was there a difference between both genders in the chosen screening method [30,31].…”

“…17), and Saudi Arabia and South Korea have reported prevalence estimates of endoscopy use among the average-risk population for colorectal cancer. Except for South Korea, utilization rates are extremely low and reflect the lack of colorectal cancer screening implementation, public health education as well as financial, cultural, religious, and psychological barriers to screening (12,44,55,56).
