Cross-sectional study finds employment status reduces colorectal cancer screening adherence among average-risk adults, highlighting the value of workplace-based screening initiatives.

Key Points

To assess the association between demographic and socioeconomic factors and adherence to colorectal cancer screening using a fecal immunochemical test among average-risk individuals.
Prospective cross-sectional study conducted between March 2015 and April 2016 during a hospital screening campaign in Brazil.
Recruited 1,254 asymptomatic average-risk individuals aged 50–75 years to complete a fecal immunochemical test (FIT).
Evaluated independent predictors of screening adherence using multivariable logistic regression analysis.
Overall adherence rate to the fecal immunochemical test was 55.6% (697/1,254).
Adherence was significantly higher among individuals aged 60–75 years (OR=1.30, 95% CI: 1.02–1.66, p=0.03), those reporting religious belief (OR=2.04, 95% CI: 1.34–3.11, p<0.01), and those with a prior fecal occult blood test (OR=2.07, 95% CI: 1.55–2.76, p<0.01).
Full-time or part-time employment was independently associated with lower screening adherence (OR=0.66, 95% CI: 0.49–0.89, p<0.01).
