    Abstract

    Cancer screening aims to reduce morbidity and mortality in the population through the early detection and treatment of disease. However, for a number of different reasons, not everyone who is eligible for cancer screening avails of such services. This study examined the characteristics of middle and older-aged adults associated with the uptake of two cancer screening services in Ireland. In particular, given the complex system of eligibility for healthcare services in Ireland, the study looked at whether having a medical card and/or private health insurance was associated with the uptake of screening services.
