| Résumé : | [BDSP. Notice produite par INIST-CNRS R0xd4S5m. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. Objective : To investigate the value of the management of a prostate cancer-screening research program in the City of Antwerp through the evaluation of non-participation. Methods : The cancer screening study targeted men aged 55 to 74 years living in two districts (Deurne and Borgerhout) of Antwerp City. The districts are subdivided in 37 sectors with a total of 11,382 subjects to be contacted. Retrospective analysis of non-participation per sector was studied regarding sector specific variables and the reasons of non-participation. It was hypothesized that sector specific characteristics may influence the rate of non-participation. Moreover it was searched if some of these variables could be correlated with individual reasons of non-participation. Sector specific variables were : the average distance to the research center ; the invitation period ; the age-composition ; the social class ; the population density ; the general practitioner (GP) density ; and the district area (Borgerhout or Deurne). The individual reasons asked among the at home visited non-participants were : "No Interest" in the program ; "Consult a GP" ; "Being Absent" during the invitation period ; and "Other Reasons". Correlation statistics, non-parametric tests, and regression analysis are used to determine variables that may explain the variation in the rate of non-participation per sector. Results : Average non-participation rate per sector was 70% (range 61% to 79%). Non-participation was highly correlated with "Invitation Period" and "Age-Specific" groups. Individual responses were highly correlated with these variables and inter-correlated between "Being Absent", "Consult a GP" and having "No Interest" and "Other Reasons". (...) |
