Exploring Attitudes to Lung Cancer Screening in England: An Inductive Content Analysis of Online Commentary Following Media Announcement of a National Lung Cancer Screening Programme

The data incorporated within this study are entirely derived from comments and opinions shared on social media and news outlet comment sections. Comments are anonymous, and hence sources cannot be traced, but commenters are likely to encompass eligible screening participants, relatives, and the general public. By utilising online comments, we aimed to capture voices not previously included in lung cancer screening uptake research, helping to identify novel perspectives on the screening programme.
