Psychological Factors and Cancer Screening Uptake in Scotland

Those who are slightly more agreeable may not uptake bowel and breast cancer screening but this effect size was small for bowel and medium for breast cancer screening
Those who did not participate in breast cancer screening reported being slightly more conscientiousness and emotional stability, with a higher overall quality of life, less happiness, and more anxiety
Results may provide insight to individuals who may be targeted for future campaigns to increase cancer screening
