To determine whether exposure to a peer-led intervention focused on colorectal cancer (CRC) screening, physical activity, and multi-vitamin intake can lead to increased intentions to be screened for CRC once age eligible among adults under the age of 50.
Participants were residents of low-income housing sites, and CRC screening intentions were assessed at baseline and at follow-up (approximately 2 years later) to determine changes in screening intentions and factors associated with changes in intentions.
Participants (n = 692) were 78.4% female, 42.6% Hispanic and 50.8% black. At follow-up, 51% maintained their intention to be screened and 14.6% newly intended to get screened. Individuals newly intending to get screened were more likely to have participated in the intervention, be older, male, and born in Puerto Rico or the United States compared to those who maintained their intention not to get screened (p < 0.05).
Exposure to CRC prevention messages before the age of 50 can increase screening intentions among individuals who did not initially intend to get screened. Peer-led interventions to promote CRC screening should include individual less than 50 years of age, as this may contribute to increased screening at the recommended age threshold.
确定接触以同伴为主导的、聚焦于结直肠癌（CRC）筛查、体育活动和多种维生素摄入的干预措施是否会导致50岁以下成年人达到年龄适宜标准后进行CRC筛查的意愿增加。
参与者为低收入住房社区的居民，在基线和随访时（约2年后）评估CRC筛查意愿，以确定筛查意愿的变化以及与意愿变化相关的因素。
参与者（n = 692）中78.4%为女性，42.6%为西班牙裔，50.8%为黑人。在随访时，51%的人维持其筛查意愿，14.6%的人新产生了筛查意愿。与维持不筛查意愿的人相比，新产生筛查意愿的个体更有可能参与了干预措施，年龄更大，为男性，且出生在波多黎各或美国（p < 0.05）。
50岁之前接触CRC预防信息可增加最初无意进行筛查的个体的筛查意愿。以同伴为主导的促进CRC筛查的干预措施应纳入年龄小于50岁的个体，因为这可能有助于在推荐年龄阈值时增加筛查率。
