Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) incidence is rising in urban China, and screening participation remains low. Understanding the influence of knowledge and health beliefs on CRC screening behaviors can inform targeted interventions.
Objective: To identify latent profiles of CRC knowledge and health beliefs among average-risk urban adults in China and examine factors influencing profile membership.
Background: Colorectal cancer is a major cause of cancer-related deaths in China. Timely screening is essential for reducing mortality, but implementing comprehensive programs in Chinese healthcare settings is challenging.
Objective: This study identifies barriers and facilitators to colorectal cancer screening (CRCS) in China and recommends effective implementation strategies.
Objective: Adherence to guideline-recommended colorectal cancer screening (CRCS) among average-risk urban populations in China remains significantly suboptimal. This mixed-methods study aimed to investigate screening behaviors and associated factors among average-risk urban populations through a multi-center approach.
Methodology: From February to July 2024, 550 participants were recruited via stratified random sampling in Harbin, China.
