An interventional study of Health awareness campaign in Colorectal Cancer, sponsored by Monash University Malaysia. Not yet recruiting at 1 site in Malaysia. Open to participants aged 50 Years to 75 Years, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-07-21.
Sponsored by Monash University Malaysia · Not applicable, Interventional, and Health services research
Colorectal cancer is one of the most common cancers in Malaysia and worldwide. Although it can often be prevented or treated successfully when detected early, many people in Malaysia are diagnosed at an advanced stage. Screening tests, such as the immunochemical faecal occult blood test (iFOBT), can help detect early signs of colorectal cancer; however, participation in screening remains low.
Community pharmacies are easily accessible healthcare settings where people frequently seek health advice. Pharmacists may play an important role in improving awareness and encouraging colorectal cancer screening by providing education and support. However, more information is needed to understand how people perceive and respond to pharmacy-based colorectal cancer screening.
5,599 studies on the registry are indexed under Colorectal Neoplasms; 1,459 are open to participants now.
This study's planned enrollment of 316 is above the median of 77 across 4,123 interventional studies indexed under Colorectal Neoplasms.

Beliefs and perceptions toward colorectal cancer and iFOBT screening
Beliefs and perceptions toward colorectal cancer and iFOBT screening, measured using the Champion Health Belief Model Scale - Colorectal Cancer - Malay (CHBMS-CRC-M) subscales of perceived susceptibility, perceived benefits, and perceived barriers, between customers from pharmacies with and without the one-day awareness campaign. Each item is rated on a 5-point Likert scale (1 = strongly disagree to 5 = strongly agree). Domain scores will be calculated by summing (or averaging) the items within each domain, with higher scores indicating greater perceived susceptibility, benefits or barriers.
Time frame: From enrollment to the 8th week follow-up.
Proportion of participants who were willing to accept and perform iFOBT, report iFOBT results, and follow-up if needed.
Time frame: From enrollment to the 8th week of follow-up
