Abstract

Informed decision making is recognized as important in screening. Invitees should be provided with relevant information, enabling them to make an informed decision. This may be more difficult in ethnic minority and low socio‐economic status groups. We aimed to assess the proportion of informed decisions to participate in a faecal immunochemical test (FIT)‐based colorectal cancer (CRC) screening pilot and to explore differences in knowledge and attitude across various subgroups.
