Awareness of colon cancer screening among the general population: Community-based study from the Qassim Region of Saudi Arabia

The study revealed considerably below-average knowledge about the general public's screening for CRC in the Qassim region of Saudi Arabia. Although a substantial proportion of participants demonstrated knowledge about the risk factors, symptoms, and prevention of CRC, there is limited knowledge about screening programs in the region. This underscores the need for public awareness campaigns and concerted efforts to eliminate the obstacles preventing more people from getting screened with colonoscopies for early detection and prevention of CRC.
