Respondents who never had a CRC screening.

Caption

The result shows that 49.3% of global respondents never had a CRC screening test, with Saudi Arabia (62.0%) and Poland (61.0%) with the highest proportion. Among respondents with a family history of CRC, only 23.2% never had a screening test, indicating that family awareness significantly increases CRC screening rates among individuals with a family history of the disease.
