Screening for disease has become a widely accepted concept in health care. This book takes a critical look at the practice of screening throughout the various stages of life. It highlights three current challenges: the increasing consumer, media and commercial focus on health in general and screening in particular; providing accurate and understandable information; and tackling the continuing variation in the uptake of screening between different areas of the country and different social economic groups. This book is important reading for public health professionals, particularly those involved in screening programmes.
