Title
Effects of Distance and Screening Type on Compliance
Summary
We are evaluating the impact that factors such as distance from screening center, gender, race and ethnicity, age, and education level, have on screening and ASU compliance.
Aims

The only new variable we are requesting is whether a given participant was alive during their screening window. Without this variable, our models may incorrectly attribute differences in compliance to some other variable(s) studied. The additional variable will let us drop participants from the screening compliance analysis once they are deceased, thus removing the "expectation" that they would come in for screening that T year.
