Maximising participation in the lung cancer screening program: a discrete choice experiment of eligible, high-risk individuals

Project Details

As relatively little is known about how to maximise participation in lung cancer screening for Australians at high risk of developing the disease, a discrete choice experiment was conducted to assess the factors or ‘attributes’ affecting screening participation. Participants completed an online survey of 10 pairs of hypothetical scenarios using six attributes (invitation to screen, eligibility assessment, appointment booking, model of care, health care worker support and cost).

The results of this study will show what potential screening participants at high-risk of developing lung cancer value within a screening program, and will be highly relevant for implementation of the AustralianNational Lung Cancer Screening Program.
