Screening rates changed significantly for all disability groups (p ≤ 0.01). There was a statistically significant trend over time in the differences in screening rates between men with no disability and men within the following disability groups: movement difficulty (p ≤ 0.01); least severe movement difficulty (p = 0.03); movement difficulty severity level 4 (p = 0.02); most severe movement difficulty (p = 0.04); sensory difficulty (p ≤ 0.01); emotional difficulty (p = 0.02); any BAD (p = 0.01); social limitation (p ≤ 0.01); and any disability (p = 0.04).
