Concordance of Cancer Screening Attendance Among Spouse Couples: A Cross‐Sectional Survey of the Tohoku Medical Megabank Project
The findings of this study support the hypothesis that the attendance of one spouse at cancer screening significantly positively influences that of the other spouse, regardless of the type of cancer screening or the age of the spouses. Novel intervention strategies can be developed that specifically target spousal pairs and potentially enhance the effectiveness of cancer prevention initiatives compared to those targeting individuals alone.
