| Abstract: | Objective: To describe the distribution of a population in southern urban Adelaide in terms of readiness to
screen for colorectal cancer (CRC) by Faecal Occult Blood Test (FOBT) or colonoscopy according to the
stages in the Transtheoretical Model (TTM) of behaviour change and to compare the stages according to
demographic variables.
Methods: A random sample of 664 South Australians aged 50 to 74 were surveyed in June 2006. Chi-squared
analyses were performed to determine if statistically significant differences on demographic variables existed
between participants at different stages of readiness to screen. |
