Does theory of planned behaviour play a role in predicting uptake of colorectal cancer screening? A cross-sectional study in Hong Kong.

The variables pertinent to TPB could successfully predict CRC screening uptake. Promotion of CRC screening based on interventions that increase perceived behavioural control and behavioural intention could potentially enhance screening uptake. Further studies are needed to establish the cause and effect relationship among these variables and screening uptake, as well as to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of such interventions.
