Any CRC screening adjusted forage, plan on colonoscopy in next 10 years, health insurance, urban vs rural status and CRC awareness and attitude scores. Adherence to colonoscopy adjusted forage, plan on colonoscopy in next 10 years, know someone with CRC, employment status, income, urban vs rural status and CRC awareness and attitude scores. Ad herence to flexible sigmoidoscopy adjusted for age and urban vs rural status. Adherence to fecal occult blood test adjusted forage, concern for CRC development, transportation means to clinic and urban vs rural status.
