Do socioeconomic factors play a role in nonadherence to follow-up colonoscopy after a positive faecal immunochemical test in the Flemish colorectal cancer screening programme?

Conclusion Adherence to follow-up colonoscopy after a positive FIT differs according to sociodemographic variables. Additional research is needed to explore reasons for nonadherence to colonoscopy and tackle barriers by exploring interventions to increase colonoscopy follow-up adherence after a positive FIT in the Flemish colorectal cancer screening programme.
