Background For cancer screening programmes to be effective in early detection it is important that those invited can access screening services and understand the benefits of participation. A better understanding of the factors that matter to potential participants of cancer screening programmes can assist in developing strategies to increase current uptake. Methods We conducted an overview of systematic reviews to answer the question: What factors influence the uptake of cancer screening services (breast, bowel and cervical) in high-income countries? A thematic approach supported by tabular summaries and qualitative heat maps was used to categorize factors, described as ‘barriers’ or ‘facilitators’. Results A total of 41 systematic reviews met the criteria for inclusion. The barrier with the greatest number of ‘hot spots’ across all three screening programmes was a fear of the unknown regarding a possible diagnosis of cancer or abnormal screening results, followed closely by a general lack of knowledge surrounding cancer screening programmes. The greatest collective facilitator to uptake was recommendation by a healthcare provider to attend screening. Conclusion Across all factors ‘trust’ and ‘building trusted relationships’ can be seen as integral to the success of cancer screening programmes and must be reflective of collaborative efforts to mitigate barriers and enhance facilitators to uptake. There is future scope to consider interventions that (i) increase demand for screening services, (ii) reduce barriers to uptake of services and/or (iii) are relevant to the healthcare system and those providing services.

“…Nonetheless, knowledge is influenced by other factors such as culture, religious beliefs and fatalistic misconceptions about cervical, breast or bowel cancer. 11,40 Overcoming these barriers may increase adherence to cancer screening programs in Queensland. The I-Change model adopted in this review predicts that cancer screening behaviour depends on awareness, motivation and action.…”

Introduction Cancer screening programmes for cervical, breast, and colorectal cancer have successfully reduced mortality rates among target groups. However, a large proportion of women and men are unscreened. Aim This review aims to provide an overview of the literature regarding the determinants of cancer screening participation among target groups in Queensland. Methods Electronic databases were searched for studies on determinants of cancer screening participation in Queensland. Retrieved studies were screened, and eligible articles were selected for data extraction. Both peer-reviewed and grey literature studies were included. The determinants of cancer screening participation were classified according to the I-Change model. Results Sixteen out of 75 articles were selected and analysed. Information factors, such as the lack of tailored strategies, determined cancer screening participation. Age, gender, cultural beliefs, fear and past experiences were the most reported predisposing factors to cancer screening participation. Lack of knowledge, misconceptions, low awareness, timely access to service, privacy and confidentiality were mainly reported awareness and motivation factors. Encouragement from health professionals, providing more information and interactions with communities would result in different effects on cancer screening participation among the target groups. Discussion The I-Change model is a valuable tool in mapping the current determinants of cancer screening participation programs. Further research may be needed to fully understand the barriers and facilitators of cancer screening programs.

BackgroundFor cancer screening programmes to be effective in early detection it is important that those invited can access screening services and understand the benefits of participation. A better understanding of the factors that matter to potential participants of cancer screening programmes can assist in developing strategies to increase uptake and may also be relevant in further understanding and resolving population-based inequalities. MethodsWe conducted an overview of systematic reviews to answer the question: What factors influence the uptake of cancer screening services (breast, bowel, and cervical) in high-income countries? A narrative approach supported by tabular summaries and qualitative heat maps was used to categorise factors, described as ‘barriers’ or ‘facilitators’.
