CAM National Baseline Report (18th November 2009)
A baseline population-based survey using the CRUK Cancer Awareness Measure (CAM) developed by the University College London was undertaken in September and October 2008 and included a general sample of 2,216 members of the public. A separate study focused on ethnic minority communities recruited 1,500 respondents from six ethnic groups.
The results showed that with the exception of “a lump or swelling”, less than 30% of the public surveyed were able to recall common cancer symptoms. Awareness of cancer symptoms was lower in men, younger people, those from a lower socioeconomic status group and ethnic minorities. On average, people were only able to recall 2 cancer signs or symptoms.
