Summary

This study tests whether a one-day health awareness campaign in community pharmacies can encourage more Malaysian adults aged 50 to 75 to get screened for colorectal cancer. Participants receive educational materials and one-on-one guidance about the disease and a simple home screening test. The goal is to see if this easy-to-access setting improves screening uptake and early detection.

If effective, this approach could increase early detection of colorectal cancer through community pharmacies, potentially reducing late-stage diagnoses.
