Societal views on using risk-based innovations to inform cancer screening and referral policies: findings from three community juries
Informed members of the public supported the concept of using innovations to estimate cancer risk and inform healthcare. Their priorities for accuracy, data security, participation burden, and personal liberty and choice tended to overlap with those of developers and policymakers. Work to ready these innovations for implementation should continue, with the public's priorities accounted for in their development and dissemination in order to address any unintended consequences upfront.
