| Research Abstract |
The present study examined the prevalence and correlates of (1) cancer information seeking, (2) awareness of the role of physical activity in colon cancer prevention, and (3) meeting physical activity recommendations for colon cancer prevention among Japanese adults, in order to explore the effective dissemination strategy to enhance the literacy for preventive role of physical activity in colon cancer and incrase motivation for engaging in physical activity. The results imply that low prevalence of information seeking to cancer prevention might be related to low awareness level of the effect of physical activity on colon cancer prevention. From the present results, an intervention design that accounts for those correlates may more effectively enhance the literacy for the preventive association of physical activity with colon cancer and promote physical activity among Japanese adults.
