Tackling Australia’s low screening participation to prevent bowel cancer deaths [ 1/1/2021 - 12/31/2025 ]

Research Grant

Brief description Bowel cancer is Australia’s second deadliest cancer despite being largely treatable if detected early. The big problem is most people do not screen so too many cases are not detected soon enough. I will endeavour to increase screening participation by developing a range of strategies that do better at encouraging people to screen. I will then test each of them to determine which results in the highest participation within the actual National Bowel Cancer Screening Program.
