%X In October 2002, screening colonoscopy was added to the German colorectal cancer (CRC) screening program as an alternative to fecal occult blood test (FOBT). We aimed to evaluate the change in CRC screening use after introduction of the dual screening offer and to assess determinants of screening use. Data were drawn from a population-based cohort study initiated during 2000-2002 in Germany (n = 5,845, age range at recruitment: 50-75 years). We conducted both cross-sectional and longitudinal analyses to obtain uptake rates of CRC screening based on four waves of data. Age-group specific proportions of participants having had FOBT within 2 years remained essentially unchanged at 61-67
