Background: Social inequalities has been shown for participation in colorectal cancer screening and recently in the initial stool sample blood test. If these differences persist at follow-up colon examination after a positive stool test, it would suggest that social inequality in screening may be greater than the inequality observed in initial stool sample blood test.
Methods: All data were derived from national registers.
Purpose: To investigate the effect of sending out reminders for colorectal cancer screening on socioeconomic and demographic inequalities in screening uptake.
Methods: All citizens aged 50-74 in Denmark are invited every 2 years for colorectal cancer screening. Non-participants receive an electronically distributed reminder.
Purpose: Colorectal cancer screening by inviting citizens to complete a test for blood in faeces was initiated in Denmark in 2014. We have examined sociodemographic predictors that influence participation to identify factors that could be targeted to increase compliance.
Methods: National registers were used to link data on invitations for colorectal cancer screening in Denmark from 2014 to 2015.
