CRC screening (direct measurement: adjusted odds ratio (AOR)=1.26, 95% confidence interval (CI)=1.10-1.45, p<0.001; for indirect measurement: AOR=1.23, 95% CI=1.08-1.41, p<0.01) were significantly associated with CRC screening uptake (table 2) . Conclusions The variables pertinent to the TPB could successfully predict the uptake of CRC screening. Promotion of CRC screening based on enhancing perceived behavioural control as well as behavioural intention could be effective in increasing

... uptake. Further studies are needed to establish a cause-and-effect relationship between these variables and uptake, as well as to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of such interventions.
