“…However, the study's cross-sectional design and reliance on self-reported screening limit the KNCSS. Previous studies have indicated that self-reported FOBT screening data might result in overestimates of the proportion screened [26,27], and recent research has suggested that over-reporting may be greater for FOBT than for endoscopy [28]. Therefore, the proportion of subjects who were actually up-to-date for CRC testing may be lower than that indicated by the current analysis.…”

Increasing uptake of colorectal cancer screening in Korea: a population-based study

BackgroundColorectal cancer (CRC) screening rates are low in most Asian countries and remain largely unknown. This study examined trends in CRC screening rates after the introduction of the Korean National Cancer Screening Programme (NCSP) and determined the factors associated with uptake of CRC screening by test modality over time.MethodsAn annual population-based survey conducted through nationally representative random sampling from 2005-2008. In total, 3,699 participants from the 2005-2008 surveys were selected as study subjects. Face-to-face interviews were performed to assess the utilization rate of CRC screening by each screening modality.ResultsOverall, CRC screening within the recommended time interval increased significantly from 22.9% in 2005 to 36.6% in 2008 (p < 0.001). The proportion of subjects receiving a fecal occult blood test (FOBT) test within the previous year increased significantly from 7.2% in 2005 to 21.3% in 2008 (p < 0.001). Increases in FOBT testing were highest among those who had a lower income status (relative difference = 511.9%) and women (relative difference = 266.1%). Endoscopy use also increased from 18.0% in 2005 to 20.5% in 2008, albeit not significant. Overall, those who were male, non-smokers, 60-69 years old, and had a higher income status were more likely to have undergone up-to-date endoscopy and CRC screening.ConclusionsThis study revealed a substantial increase in up-to-date CRC screening in the general population from 2005 to 2008. However, more than half of adults in Korea are still not up-to-date with their CRC tests. It will be important to continue to investigate factors associated with up-to-date CRC screening by each modality.

“…Persons who did not respond may have different patterns of screening or diabetes risk behaviors and risk factors. Moreover, because the data are self-reported, there may be recall bias or over-reporting of health behaviors [46]. The analyses were largely descriptive and because of the limited sample sizes in some stratified analyses, some comparisons may have been underpowered to detect differences that may exist between subgroups or differences in screening by diabetes risk behaviors and risk factors.…”

Because diabetes is associated with increased colorectal cancer (CRC) risk, it is important that people with diabetes receive CRC screenings according to guidelines. In addition, many diabetes self-care recommendations are associated with a reduced risk of CRC. This study aims to identify potential opportunities for enhancing CRC prevention within the context of diabetes management. Using data from 1,730 adults with diabetes aged 50-75 years who responded to the 2010 National Health Interview Survey, we calculated population estimates of behaviors consistent with US Preventive Services Task Force guidelines for CRC screening and American Diabetes Association recommendations for diabetes care. We examined bivariate associations between CRC screening and selected diabetes self-care behaviors associated with CRC risk. Results were stratified by demographic characteristics. Thirty-nine percent of adults with diagnosed diabetes were not up-to-date with CRC screenings. Sixteen percent smoked and 2 % exceeded alcohol intake recommendations. Among those capable of exercise, 69 and 90 % did not meet aerobic exercise and resistance training recommendations, respectively.

“…However, that limitation would be similar for all respondents. Many studies have concluded that self-reporting is fairly accurate, showing good or fair concordance and overall agreement with administrative health data [15][16][17][18] . Estimates from an earlier study on breast cancer screening in Canada 19 (based on administrative data), of the proportion of women 50-69 years of age who underwent bilateral mammography within and outside organized programs in a 24-month period, closely resemble the cchs self-reported screening rates.…”

Recent Trends in Breast, Cervical, and Colorectal Cancer Screening Test Utilization in Canada, Using Self-Reported Data from 2008 and 2012

In Canada, self-reported data from the Canadian Community Health Survey 2008 and 2012 provide an opportunity to examine overall utilization of breast, cervical, and colorectal cancer screening tests for both programmatic and opportunistic screening.Among women Stable rates of screening mammography utilization (about 30%) were reported in 2008 and 2012 among women 40-49 years of age, a group for which population-based screening is not recommended. Although declining over time, cervical cancer screening rates were high for women less than 25 years of age (for whom screening is not recommended). Interestingly, an increased percentage of women 70-74 years of age reported having a Pap test.In 2012, a smaller percentage of women 50-69 years of age reported having no screening test (5.9% vs. 8.5% in 2008), and more women reported having the three types of cancer screening tests (19.0% vs. 13.2%).Efforts to encourage use of screening within the recommended average-risk age groups are needed, and education for stakeholders about the possible harms of screening outside those age groups has to continue.
