Abstract

Background and Objective: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is an important cause of death. But it also found that access to screening services in each area was different and less investigted. Therefore, this study aimed to study the association between socio-economic status factors and non-participation in CRC sereening project.

Methods: An analytics case-control study. Data were retrieved from the CRC screening project and Health Data Center, HDC database of Ubon Ratchathani Provincial Public Health Office between 1st October 2018 and 30th September 2020, that is the target group in the screening aged between 50-70 years of  250 cases, and divided into two groups; Case and Control cases were 125 volunteers who didn't come for CRC screening, and Controls were 125 volunteers who came for CRC screening. Data were collected by interview. Multiple logistic regression was used in the analysis of data. We reported an adjusted Odds Ratio (Adjusted OR), and the 95% confidence interval (95% CI), and p-value.

Result: Factors associated with non-participation in CRC screening by statistically significant (p<0.05) were education, occupations, household income, constipation and diarrhea, and family support for screening services. While age was not associated with non-participation in CRC screening.
