Barriers and Facilitators of Implementing Colorectal Cancer Screening Management in China: A Mixed-Methods Study.

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.

Factors Associated With Colorectal Cancer Screening Behaviors Among Urban Populations in China: A Mixed-Methods Study Using the Health Belief Model.

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.
