Compliance and Mortality
Summary
We investigate the relationship between compliance with screening tests and mortality, excluding P,L,C,O cancers. We examine demographic; behavior and lifestyle factors to see how these modify the relationship between compliance and mortality.
Aims

2. To examine the effect of compliance on various cause-specific types of mortality (e.g., respiratory, cardiovascular, etc.).
