We aimed to describe the use of both tests and to identify factors associated with its non- and under-use. <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p> A sample of 7208 subjects aged 50\u201374 from the National Health Survey 2014 was examined. Previous experience of faecal occult blood test and colonoscopy was classified as never or ever; ever-users, who had last undergone these tests more than 2 or 10 years before, respectively, were considered under-users. We computed age- and education-adjusted prevalence ratios and corresponding 95% confidence intervals for non- and under-use. <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p> Of the individuals in the screening age range, 36.9% had never undergone either test. The prevalence of non-use was 50.7% and 62.2% for faecal occult blood test and colonoscopy, and 27.4% and 6.0% of subjects under-used each test, respectively. The lowest prevalence of non- and under-use was found in the Norte region. Low socioeconomic status and unhealthy lifestyles were significantly associated with low testing; greater use was observed for those having more recent contact with healthcare services. <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p> This study identifies patterns of colorectal cancer screening use, with regional disparities that have not yet been reduced by the implementation of organised screening programmes. <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/0969141319891456","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,12,23]],"date-time":"2019-12-23T05:45:04Z","timestamp":1577079904000},"page":"171-185","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Faecal occult blood test and colonoscopy use in Portugal: Results from the National Health Survey 2014"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"27","author":[{"given":"Haseeb","family":"Khan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"EPIUnit \u2013 Instituto de Sa\u00fade P\u00fablica, Universidade do Porto, Porto, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Nabil","family":"Shaaban","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"EPIUnit \u2013 Instituto de Sa\u00fade P\u00fablica, Universidade do Porto, Porto, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0579-9988","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"B\u00e1rbara","family":"Peleteiro","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"EPIUnit \u2013 Instituto de Sa\u00fade P\u00fablica, Universidade do Porto, Porto, Portugal"},{"name":"Departamento de Ci\u00eancias da Sa\u00fade P\u00fablica e Forenses e Educa\u00e7\u00e3o M\u00e9dica, Faculdade de Medicina da Universidade do Porto, Porto, Portugal"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,12,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-0969141319891456","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3322\/caac.21492"},{"key":"bibr2-0969141319891456","first-page":"CD001216","author":"Hewitson P","year":"2007","journal-title":"Cochrane Database Syst Rev"},{"key":"bibr3-0969141319891456","first-page":"CD009259","author":"Holme O","year":"2013","journal-title":"Cochrane Database Syst Rev"},{"key":"bibr4-0969141319891456","first-page":"CD001216","author":"Towler BP","year":"2000","journal-title":"Cochrane Database Syst Rev"},{"key":"bibr5-0969141319891456","first-page":"34","author":"Council of the European Union","year":"2003","journal-title":"Off J Eur Union"},{"volume-title":"Cancer screening in the European Union -
