Despite the availability of screening, disparities in survival from colorectal continue in certain ethnic minority groups. This may, in part, be secondary to low take-up of bowel cancer screening. Different ethnic groups may have different cultural and health beliefs, different levels of education, understanding and acculturation that negatively impacts upon their use of faecal testing and endoscopic procedures.<\/p>\n<p>In a systematic review published in the journal\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/10.1177\/17579139221093153\">Perspectives in Public Health<\/a>, we examined studies that had investigated ethnic differences in the uptake of colorectal cancer screening.<\/p>\n<p>We found that disparities in colorectal cancer screening are multifactorial and complex in their origin and that ethnicity plays an important role.
