| Abstract: | The National Bowel Cancer Screening Program (NBCSP) is a
population-based screening program based on a mailed
screening invitation and immunochemical faecal occult blood
test. Initial published evidence from the NBCSP concurs with
international evidence on similar colorectal cancer screening
programs about the unequal participation by different
population sub-groups. The aim of the paper is to present a
cross-sectional analysis of participation in the NBCSP for
Adelaide, in order to identify geographical areas and
population groups which may benefit from targeted
approaches to increase participation rates in colorectal cancer
screening. |
