Factors Affecting Colorectal Cancer Screening in Primary Care Physician Practices in Ukraine.

Purpose: This study aims to identify the factors influencing colorectal cancer (CRC) screening practices, along with the barriers and facilitators from the perspective of primary care physicians (PCPs) in Ukraine. Considering health care system challenges, including those posed by the ongoing war, this research seeks to inform improvements in CRC screening and outcomes in Ukraine and other low- and middle-income countries (LMICs).

Methods: A survey was designed and distributed electronically to Ukrainian PCPs, focusing on CRC screening practices, beliefs, and barriers.
