This may have resulted partly from the mobile screening service now provided by the NCSP.
The mobile screening service is helpful for target populations who are not able to access medical institutions to obtain appropriate screening, and it may contribute to improving compliance with the screening program.
Mobile screening mammography services are provided to over 7,000 women a year, covering a 15-county region centered on Harris County, TX. Services are provided in a variety of settings, including schools, work-sites, federally qualified health centers, churches, and other community settings.
Time traveled to screening event was not associated with attendance in this study of a mobile retinal screening service, which visited general practitioner surgeries.
We compared the following options: having no Find and Treat service, having only one part of the service (the mobile screening unit or the case management component), and having both parts of the service.
Another eight mentioned issues of affordability but only in very brief terms, for example by noting simply that the available budget should be taken into account (but without providing any details), or by questioning the sustainability of a novel service such as a mobile cervical cytology screening service where there are already established health services [ 16].
Population Hard to reach individuals with active pulmonary tuberculosis screened or managed by the Find and Treat service (48 mobile screening unit cases, 188 cases referred for case management support, and 180 cases referred for loss to follow-up), and 252 passively presenting controls from London's enhanced tuberculosis surveillance system.
The increase in the compliance rate for the cancer screening program might have resulted from the provision of accessible and acceptable screening services, such as mobile screening.
Patients entered the model at the age when they were recorded as being detected by the mobile screening unit or referred to the service for case management.
However, we transferred an additional amount from the case management service budget to the mobile screening unit budget to represent enhanced follow-up of screened cases, based on the proportion of cases followed up who were identified by the mobile screening unit.
