Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on evaluating the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of primary health care physicians (PHPs) concerning colorectal cancer (CRC) screening in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, due to the rising incidence of CRC and issues with nonadherence to screening recommendations.
- A survey involving 127 PHPs revealed that while 95% acknowledged the effectiveness of CRC screening, about 55% admitted they were not practicing these screening recommendations.
- Factors such as gender and level of education were associated with nonadherence, with male physicians and those with only a bachelor's degree being less likely to comply with screening practices.
