The impact of individual and contextual socioeconomic factors on colorectal cancer screening adherence in Turin, Italy: a multilevel analysis
Socioeconomic and demographic characteristics influence access to organized colorectal screening in Turin. Immigrant status, low level of education, poor housing conditions and lack of social support, with some differences according to gender, emerged as the most significant barriers that should be tackled in order to increase screening participation and reduce inequalities. Contextual factors play a role only among male subjects.
