Effect of print reminder on colorectal cancer screening in a community setting: A randomized controlled study - Print reminder on colorectal cancer screening

Out of 1,156 respondents, 81 (7.0%) participated in colorectal cancer screening. 67 participants (9.7%) in the intervention groups participated in colorectal cancer screening, whereas only 14 (3.0%) of the control group participated in screening (p < 0.001). In addition, logistic regression analysis revealed that 28 (7.3%) of intervention group 1 revealed statistically-significant attendance over control group (OR=2.54, p=0.005). Also, 39 (12.5%) of intervention group 2 revealed statistically-significant attendance over control group (OR=4.59, p<0.001). Furthermore, there was significant difference in screening attendance between control group 1 and control group 2 (OR=1.81, p=0.029). With respect to recipients of the intervention groups were much more likely to have good knowledge than were recipients of the control group (p<0.001). On the other hand, there was no significant difference in attitude between the groups (p=0.294).
