The Association of the COVID-19 Pandemic with the Uptake of Colorectal Cancer Screening Varies by Socioeconomic Status in Flanders, Belgium
During the COVID-19 pandemic, people in areas with low SES were less likely to participate in screening, whereas people in areas with high SES were more likely to delay participation. A tailored invitation highlighting benefits of CRCSP is needed for people with low SES to improve uptake. Timely warnings could help people who delay participation adhere to screening intervals.
