These volunteers received screening tests as described below.
We received screening information about 10,830 children (response rate = 65.7%).
Of the women without learning disabilities, 394 have received screening while 102 hadn't.
†Formerly DM8 and changed as practices need to show that patients have received screening.
However, some of the participants had received screening via mammography and sonogram prior to entering this BSE training program.
2. Needing screening was defined as not having received screening for that risk factor within the previous year CVD.
Physicians in usual care practices received screening results and were given a treatment manual prepared for primary care physicians.
This selection bias is evidenced in the high proportion of women enrolled in the adherence study who received screening in the past 3 years (77 %).
We determined the proportion of average risk beneficiaries who received screening fecal occult blood tests or who underwent flexible sigmoidoscopy, colonoscopy, or double contrast barium enema.
To reduce the effect of flexible sigmoidoscopy screening, analyses were also carried out in only those who received screening at baseline.
Finally, our analysis relies on intention to treat analyses, which combine all participants who were invited to screening whether or not they received screening.
