dc.description.abstractEarly detection of any cancer is crucial for effective treatment. Cancer screening programs are extensively implemented in numerous countries for this purpose. The acceptance of screening programs by young populations is important because their attendance at these programs can reduce the burden of cancer in the health system in the future. Therefore, investigating young people’s attitudes towards cancer screening can be useful to enhance the effectiveness of screening programs. This study aims to examine this phenomenon by analyzing the effects of health literacy level and health beliefs on cancer. The study has been designed in a cross-sectional type. 419 people between the ages of 18 and 30 have been included in the study. The results showed significant relations between health literacy, health beliefs, and attitudes towards cancer screening. Health literacy, perceived severity, perceived benefits, and perceived barriers explained 38% of the variance in attitudes toward cancer screening. This study contributes to the existing body of knowledge by providing information about the perceptions of the young population about cancer screening programs and their predictors.
