Examining communities' health beliefs regarding CRC is an important issue and requires a culturally valid and reliable scale. The modified Arabic version exhibited acceptable content, construct, convergent, and discriminant validity when used with the Jordanian average-risk population. Nurses and other health professionals can use it to assess beliefs about CRC and screening practices accurately. Moreover, the scale may be beneficial to other Arab countries, considering the diverse dialects within the Arab world.<br />.
