Most of these women attended both programmes, n=26,560 (69.8%). Only a small number of women did not participate in any programme, n=1,679 (4.4%). Between the four different subgroups, both ‘year of birth’ (Kruskal-Walllis: p<.01) and ‘neighbourhood SES-score’ were statistically different (Likelihood Ratio: p<.01). Women who did not attend the BC-SP but did attend the CRC-SP were the youngest, with a median year of birth of 1954. Non-attenders tended to live more in the neighbourhoods with lower SES-scores. Especially non-attendance at the CRC-SP seemed to be associated with lower a SES-score (BC+, CRC-; SES-score 1= 37.3%, and BC-, CRC-; SES-score 1= 40.7%, compared to BC+, CRC+; SES-score 1= 27.5%.)
