Abstract
This study indicated that students' knowledge about CRC symptoms and screening was poor while their knowledge about CRC risks was good. Females and nonsmokers had remarkably more CRC risk information. Sociodemographic variables did not significantly affect CRC symptom and screening knowledge. "Worrying about a bad result" was the biggest FOBT and colonoscopy barrier. According to these findings, it is recommended that faculties should integrate CRC awareness courses into their curricula. Additionally, more emphasis should be placed on other educational interventions such as social media, television and brochure distribution.
