The aim was to describe the association of awareness and knowledge with participation in colorectal cancer (CRC) screening.
MATERIALS & METHODS: Telephone survey research was conducted with South Carolina (USA) residents aged 50-75 years using a 144-item instrument. Data were analyzed with SAS and Stata. Adjusted odds ratios are reported.
Respondents (n = 1302) had heard of CRC screening (96%) and exhibited high levels of CRC awareness and knowledge; only 74% had ever been screened. Higher levels of knowledge were associated with a greater likelihood of having ever been screened (odds ratio: 1.05; 95% CI: 1.02-1.41; p < 0.001).
Results showed high levels of awareness and knowledge, but modest participation in CRC. Transforming awareness and knowledge into CRC screening participation should be a priority.
本研究旨在描述知晓率和知识水平与参与结直肠癌（CRC）筛查之间的关联。
使用包含144个条目的调查问卷，对美国南卡罗来纳州年龄在50 - 75岁的居民进行电话调查研究。数据采用SAS和Stata软件进行分析，并报告调整后的比值比。
1302名受访者中，96%听说过CRC筛查，且表现出较高的CRC知晓率和知识水平；仅有74%的人曾接受过筛查。知识水平较高与曾接受筛查的可能性更大相关（比值比：1.05；95%置信区间：1.02 - 1.41；p < 0.001）。
结果显示CRC知晓率和知识水平较高，但CRC筛查参与率适中。将知晓率和知识转化为CRC筛查参与率应成为优先事项。
