No association between colorectal cancer worry and screening uptake in Appalachian Ohio
Conclusions
These findings highlight the need for meaningful exploration of why higher CRC worry is not associated with adherence to CRC screening, particularly in rural, medically underserved populations. Development and implementation of interventions to increase CRC screening in such areas is a significant public health priority.
