88 Chapter 3 The neighbourhood SES-score differed statistically significant between attenders and non-attenders (Likelihood Ratio test: p<.01). Women living in a neighbourhood with the highest SES-scores, were the more likely to participate (ascending ORs from 1.43 to 1.66; for SES-2 to SES-4, compared to SES 1). The neighbourhood SES-scores also differed statistically between the different attendance-groups with CRC (Likelihood Ratio test: p=.05). People living in a SES-2 neighbourhood were more likely to participate (OR 1.64), compared to people living in a SES-1 neighbourhood. Attendance was not statistical different between the several CRC-stages. Despite, a stage 4 CRC had an OR of 0.56 on attendance, compared with a stage 1. In addition, when the interaction effect for both independent variables was determined, no statistical differences could be established (Likelihood Ratio test: p=0.24). However, when taken the ORs into account non-attenders, there seems to be a tendency that non-attenders were more likely to live in neighbourhoods with lower SES-scores and had the more unfavourable cancer stages.
