Background: Uptake of screening remains crucial in the prevention of both the incidence of colorectal cancer (CRC) and its mortality.
Objectives: To estimate the prevalence of CRC screening and identify chronic conditions that predict CRC screening uptake among US adults using the 2012 National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) data.
Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional analysis of the 2012 NHIS data. Chronic conditions examined were hypertension, cancer history, arthritis, ulcer, and high cholesterol level.
