| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study aimed to evaluate individual-level factors and area-level indicators in relation to serological testing for hepatitis B or C virus and cancer screening for lung, stomach or colon, with focusing on socioeconomic status. Data from a population-based cross-sectional study involving adults aged 25-64 years, which was conducted in Osaka city, Japan, in 2011, was used for analyses. We found that the effect of area-level socioeconomic indicators was negligible, while the individual-level factors including socioeconomic status were clearly associated with both receiving hepatitis viral testing and cancer screening. Our findings revealed that encouragement at individual-level, not at general population-level, was highly important to increase the response to hepatitis viral testing and cancer screening. A next-generation model to encourage the testing or screening will be needed in consideration of current social trends.
