“…Our study is the first population‐based study to evaluate the knowledge and perceptions of CRC and CRC screening in a Chinese population. Although some similar studies were identified(Le et al, 2014; Ng et al, 2007; Shin et al, 2017; Wong et al, 2013, 2017), there was limited time trend comparison. Secondly, this study got a relatively large sample size compared with the previous studies.…”

Objective This study aimed to evaluate how the knowledge and perception towards colorectal cancer (CRC) screening had been changed in a large population, and identified factors associated with its participation based on factors pertinent to the Health Belief Model (HBM). Methods Data from 3600 screening participants and 3600 non‐participants were collected through a telephone survey via simple random sampling of telephone numbers in a territory‐wide directory from December 2016 to November 2018. Sociodemographic factors; the enabling factors of screening as well as the barriers of screening were collected. The changes in these factors were evaluated by Pearson's chi‐square trend test. A logistic regression model was constructed to identify the association between the above factors and CRC screening participation. Results The knowledge level (67.9% to 85.4%, p < 0.001), perceived severity of having CRC (37.7%–42.8%, p < 0.01), perceived benefits of screening (54.9%–72.1%, p < 0.001), and reductions in barriers (14.1%–5.1%, p < 0.001) of CRC screening significantly improved among the non‐users. Subjects with older age (adjusted odds ratio (AOR): 2.01, p < 0.001), higher knowledge level of screening methods (AOR: 6.68, p < 0.001), greater perceived severity (AOR: 2.04, p < 0.001) and coverage of insurance (AOR: 1.22, p < 0.01) were more likely to participate. In contrast, more affluent subjects (AOR: 0.69, p < 0.001), female individuals (AOR: 0.63, p < 0.001), higher level of perceived psychological (AOR: 0.54, p < 0.001) and access barriers (AOR: 0.55, p < 0.001) were associated with poorer participation. Conclusion These findings demonstrated a substantial increase in the enabling factors of CRC screening, including knowledge, perceived severity and perceived benefits. The study also identified the target groups such as younger individuals, females and more affluent people among whom more intensive educational initiatives are needed to enhance their participation.

“…Further research will explore FDs clinical practice to identify activities and attitudes associated with successful or unsuccessful adherence rates. Diffidence toward cancer screening and/or the preference of screening modalities other than fecal testing could possibly explain the different FDs attitude [32–34].…”

BackgroundDespite the well-recognised relevance of screening in colorectal cancer (CRC) control, adherence to screening is often suboptimal. Improving adherence represents an important public health strategy. We investigated the influence of family doctors (FDs) as determinant of CRC screening adherence by comparing each FDs practice participation probability to that of the residents in the same geographic areas using the whole population geocoded.MethodsWe used multilevel logistic regression model to investigate factors associated with CRC screening adherence, among 333,843 people at their first screening invitation. Standardized Adherence Rates (SAR) by age, gender, and socioeconomic status were calculated comparing FDs practices to the residents in the same geographic areas using geocoded target population.ResultsScreening adherence increased from 41.0% (95% CI, 40.8–41.2) in 2006–2008 to 44.7% (95% CI, 44.5–44.9) in 2011–2012. Males, the most deprived and foreign-born people showed low adherence. FD practices and the percentage of foreign-born people in a practice were significant clustering factors. SAR for 145 (21.4%) FDs practices differed significantly from people living in the same areas. Predicted probabilities of adherence were 31.7% and 49.0% for FDs with low and high adherence, respectively.DiscussionFDs showed a direct and independent effect to the CRC screening adherence of the people living in their practice. FDs with significantly high adherence level could be the key to adherence improvement.ImpactMost deprived individuals and foreigners represent relevant targets for interventions in public health aimed to improve CRC screening adherence.

“…This means that their decision to take part in the NCSP is voluntary and without any advice. Therefore, considering the major role of general practitioners or family doctors in increasing participation rates [ 20 , 21 , 22 ], improving the perception of cancer screening in the medical staff of a community has been suggested to increase participation.…”

The study aimed to describe the participation rates of the National Cancer Screening Program (NCSP) among cancer survivors in Korea. The NCSP protocol recommends that all Korean men and women should be screened for cancer. Cancer survivors were defined as those registered for any cancer in the Korea Central Cancer Registry by December 31 of the year prior to being included in the target population of the NCSP. In this study, the participation rates for the NCSP were calculated as the percentage of people who participated in four kinds of cancer screening programs, independently. The average annual percentage change was assessed. The participation rates of the general population and cancer survivors were higher than 40% in stomach, breast, and cervical cancer screening. These rates were higher than that of colorectal cancer screening in 2014. In addition, the participation rates in the NCSP in 2002–2014 increased for all cancer types. The NCSP participation rates of the cancer survivors indicate the high demand for cancer screening. Further research may investigate the effect of the NCSP on second cancer occurrence or mortality in cancer survivors and the significance of cancer screening guidelines for cancer survivors.
