(2009) 'Development of a measurement tool to assess public awareness of cancer', British Journal of Cancer, 101(2), S13-S17.).The survey includes measures of awareness of signs and symptoms of cancer, cancer risk factors, age-related risk, screening programmes and potential barriers to seeing the GP. Since then, Cancer Research UK (CRUK) has significantly revised and updated the survey, including a wider range of questions and collecting data online instead of face-to-face. In 2023-2024 Cancer Research UK ran two Local Cancer Awareness Measure Plus (CAM+) pilots, collecting data in two local regions (Greater Manchester and Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland (LLR)) using both an online panel and community sampling to recruit participants. The Greater Manchester pilot Local CAM+ datasets are available under SNs 9342 and 9358. The LLR pilot Local CAM+ dataset does not include National CAM+ questions on alcohol consumption, physical activity, perception of health services capacity and closeness to cancer. However, it includes additional questions on possible facilitators for cancer screening attendance and willingness to travel for hospital tests. A End User Licence version of this study is available under SN 9343. Further information about the CAM+ may be found on the <a href="https://www.cancerresearchuk.org/health-professional/awareness-and-prevention/the-cancer-awareness-measures-cam-plus" target="_blank" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Cancer Research UK Cancer Awareness Measure Plus </a>(CAM+) webpage.Main Topics: <div class="x_x_OutlineElement x_x_Ltr x_x_SCXW160662473 x_x_BCX0">The CAM questionnaires address the following topics: </div><ul></ul><ul><li>public awareness of cancer symptoms </li><li>public knowledge of cancer risk factors </li><li>barriers and enablers to help seeking </li><li>uptake of screening programmes </li><li>barriers to cancer screening (cervical, breast and bowel)</li><li>experience of breast and cervical cancer screening </li><li>symptom experience </li><li>co-morbidities</li><li>perception of symptom seriousness </li><li>help seeking behaviours including remote consultation and re-presentation </li><li>perceptions of remote consultation </li><li>demographic variables including health behaviours such as smoking and fruit and vegetable consumption.</li></ul><ul><ul></ul></ul>From 2021 onwards, the questionnaire also covers:<ul><li>impact of COVID-19 on help seeking behaviour</li><li>perceptions of safety from COVID-19 in different medical settings.</li></ul>The Special Licence version of the CAM dataset includes more detailed data on symptoms, risk factors and reasons for delay.
