Barriers and Facilitators to Colorectal Cancer Screening Among Health Fair Attendees in Utah.
Article in Journal of primary care & community health. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundColorectal cancer (CRC) screening uptake remains suboptimal despite the importance and effectiveness of various testing options. The purpose of our study was to identify barriers and facilitators to CRC screening in a community-based sample in Salt Lake County, Utah to inform future efforts to develop effective interventions to increase CRC screening.
methodsThis study enrolled adults eligible for CRC screening at 6 community health events. Participants completed targeted questionnaires based on whether they had discussed screening with a provider and whether they had received screening. We identified participant-reported barriers to CRC screening using descriptive analysis. Univariate and multivariate analyses were used to identify participant characteristics associated with receipt of screening.
resultsOf the 117 participants who completed the questionnaires, 43.6% were 50 to 60 years old, 36.8% identified as white, and 51.3% identified as non-Hispanic. The most common barrier to colonoscopy was the need for extensive bowel preparation (30.8%). For stool tests, common barriers included handling stool (20.5%) and not understanding how to do the test (20.5%). For virtual colonoscopy, barriers included the need for extensive bowel preparation (21.4%) and cost (21.4%). Most participants (67.5%) believed that they should know about all CRC screening options available, and their importance. The majority of participants (68.4%) preferred to learn about CRC screening from their doctor or healthcare provider. Younger age was associated with non-screening.
conclusionWe observed that study participants faced procedural barriers to complete CRC screening and preferred to learn about CRC screening options through their providers. Younger age groups were less likely to receive screening within our study sample. Future, targeted interventions to increase CRC screening should focus on increasing the awareness of the importance of CRC screening and educating patients on the various screening options available and their benefits, especially as they pertain to less invasive tests and targeting younger individuals.
