Funded Activity Summary

This PhD is a qualitative research project exploring the role of evidence and other factors in policy decisions about cancer screening. This topic is important because the evidence for the effectiveness of screening programs varies, with evidence-based practices sometimes being less popular with the general public and decision-makers than those not based on evidence. This project will fill a gap in knowledge and aims to develop ways of better integrating research evidence and policy decisions.
