Abstract

Screening for colorectal cancer can reduce mortality, yet, participation rate is suboptimal in various countries. We aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a pilot programme for colorectal cancer screening on increasing the enabling factors of screening in a large Chinese population, and identified factors associated with its participation based on variables pertinent to the Health Belief Model.
