79 Attendance characteristics of the breast and colorectal CSPs Strengths and limitations of this study • For this study, regional screening invitation and attendance data were combined with cancer incidence data from the Netherlands Cancer Registry. • By comparing the breast and colorectal cancer screening programmes, it allowed comparing a long-term programme with a relatively new programme. • The city of The Hague can be seen as true ‘living lab’ to test for differences in screening attendance between different subgroups, due to strong differences between the different neighbourhoods, all well represented by socioeconomic status scores. • Since the screening programme aiming at colorectal cancer is a relative new screening programme, data were only available on the implementation phase of the programme. 3
