Exploring how and why attributes of existing and emerging early cancer detection tests influence experiences and participation among individuals at risk of socioeconomic disadvantage: A qualitative interview study.
Emerging sample tests to support early cancer detection could address existing barriers to uptake by offering greater convenience. Inequitable uptake may persist if individuals do not perceive there to be a sufficient reason to test, are not confident to take part or doubt the ability of sample tests to accurately detect signs of cancer.
