Full description
To develop a new and unique geodatabase to identify locational disparities in population based breast cancer screening participation in South Australia according to place of residence. The small area geodatabase resulting from this project will provide a platform for advanced research into breast screening participation, geographic and spatial differentials in screening rates, and investigate possible predictors of these differentials. Specific analyses at the smallest geographic areas available will be undertaken where feasible to precisely identify social and demographic disparities and area level risk factors that warrant new service response. Spatial analysis will be undertaken at the smallest area possible, ideally the statistical area 1 (SA1) level. In addition, we shall assess small area predictors of screening participation with measures that include age, education, socioeconomic status, ethnic composition, family status and housing, as well as screening service access (presence and distance to screening service). Changes in screening participation over time will be investigated and assessed in relation to variation in BreastScreen SA program delivery including service pathways and local availability and timing for mobile screening units.
