The association between health literacy and cancer screening participation: A cross-sectional study across three organised screening programmes in Denmark
Our study suggests that health literacy does not significantly influence cancer screening participation among the studied population in Denmark. Therefore, interventions aimed at increasing screening participation in this group should not only target health literacy but also focus on other aspects of non-participation.
