Comparison between perceived drivers and barriers to undergoing screening

Reasons to have screening Early detection Reduced lung cancer mortality Personal reassurance/peace of mind
Median (IQR) out of 10 9 (6–10) 8 (5–10) 8 (5–10)
p-value for univariate per-respondent comparisons Early detection Reduced lung cancer mortality Personal reassurance/peace of mind
