105 Perspectives on cancer screening participation Results Forty-nine respondents (44%) completed the online Q-study, of which 39 rankings (80% of the respondents) were suitable for analysis. Respondents were mostly female and aged between 50 and 59 years of age. CSP participation was defined as participating at least once in a CSP (i.e., respondents who had experience with attending a CSP). Table 1 shows the demographic characteristics of respondents. Thirty-six respondents (92%) completed all the post-ranking questions, so we had missing supplementary data for three of the 39 analysed rankings. The flowchart of the study population is presented in Figure 3. Afterwards, four post-ranking interviews were conducted. For one factor (perspective 2) none of the respondents left their contact details, so we were not able to perform post-ranking interviews for this perspective. The four interviews lasted about 45 minutes. Three distinct perspectives on cancer screening participation were identified based on the ranking data collected. These perspectives were sufficiently distinct and clearly interpretable, based on the qualitative data. Together these perspectives explained 54% of the variance in the ranking of statements by the study respondents, 24%, 10% and 20% for factors 1 to 3, respectively. In total, 32 respondents were significantly associated with one of the factors (p<.05). Table 2 shows the factor array for each perspective. 4
