TI  - Self-perceived Mental Health Status and Uptake of Fecal Occult Blood Test for 
      Colorectal Cancer Screening in Canada: A Cross-Sectional Study.

AB  - BACKGROUND: While colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most preventable causes 
      of cancer mortality, it is one of the leading causes of cancer death in Canada 
      where CRC screening uptake is suboptimal. Given the increased rate of mortality 
      and morbidity among mental health patients, their condition could be a potential 
      barrier to CRC screening due to greater difficulties in adhering to behaviours 
      related to long-term health goals. Using a population-based study among 
      Canadians, we hypothesize that self-perceived mental health (SPMH) status and 
      fecal occult blood test (FOBT) uptake for the screening of CRC are associated. 
      METHODS: The current study is cross-sectional and utilised data from the Canadian 
      Community Health Survey 2011-2012. Multinomial logistic regression analysis was 
      undertaken to assess whether SPMH is independently associated with FOBT uptake 
      among a representative sample of 11 386 respondents aged 50-74 years. RESULTS: 
      Nearly half of the respondents reported having ever had FOBT for CRC screening, 
      including 37.28% who have been screened within two years of the survey and 12.41% 
      who had been screened more than two years preceding the survey. Respondents who 
      reported excellent mental health were more likely to have ever been screened two 
      years or more before the survey (adjusted odds ratio [AOR] = 2.08; 95% CI, 
      1.00-4.43) and to have been screened in the last two years preceding the survey 
      (AOR = 1.53; 95% CI, 0.86-2.71) than those reported poor mental health status. 
      CONCLUSION: This study supports the association between SPMH status and FOBT 
      uptake for CRC screening. While the efforts to maximize CRC screening uptake 
      should be deployed to all eligible people, those with poor mental health may need 
      more attention.
