Background: In 2015, in Csongrá, d County (Hungary), a general practitioner based colorectal screening model program was implemented by the financial support of the European Union. Our aim was to evaluate the indica-tors of screening program and to analyze the experiences and attitude of participants of colorectal screening pilot program. Methods: The colon cancer screening pilot programme was carried out in 2015 involving an average-risk pop-ulation aged 50-69 in Csongrá, d county, Hungary (invited 22 130 persons). The screening method was iFOBT, the attendance rate was 51. 2%. Overall, 5580 patients out of the 10374 participants completed the self-compiled questionnaire concerning socio-demographic data, current screening programs, stool sampling problems, invita-tion letters, information sources and future willingness of participation. Results: The response rate was 53%. 46. 7% of the respondents had not heard about colorectal screening prior to the screening program. Participants with elementary education level mostly indicated physicians as primary information sources [OR: 2. 72 (CI: 1. 59-4. 66)] than patients higher education level. 67. 5% of patients decided alone about participation on screening. Among women, decisions supported by acquaintances were specific [OR: 2. 05 (1. 06-3. 95]. 82. 6% determined the iFOB test as an entirely accepted screening method. Medical advice is an important predictor of screening participation. If respondents were to receive an invitation after two years, 91. 5% would be involved in the screening. Conclusion: The respondents were satisfied with the screening program. Awareness raising of men, lower ed-ucated patients, those living in major cities, and recommendation of the family physician may increase the par-ticipation rate in the future.
