The survey sampled 1053 participants and 1006 non-participants and response rates of 100% and 43%, respectively, were obtained. It should be noted that these very different rates could be explained by the different survey contexts: participants were given the questionnaire as part of the screening session, where the nurse checked that they had responded to at least basic questions, whereas non-participants were simply mailed a questionnaire.
Among participants, 5% had doubt about participation and the most frequent argument was that they did not want to receive the test result. This was also a main argument for non-participants, in addition to arguments such as participation being associated with too much effort and/or high transport expenses, or respondents having a low self-perceived risk (Table I). That “transportation expenses” was objectively a higher barrier for non-participants was supported by analysis of the average distance between respondents’ homes and the screening location; non-participants had a distance of 39 km, which was significantly longer than the 10 km of participants (p
