| Available indicator |
Participation rate in population-based cancer screening programs (Basque Government Indicator) |
|---|---|
| Target |
3.4 By 2030, reduce by one third premature mortality from non-communicable diseases through prevention and treatment and promote mental health and well-being |
| Goal |
3- Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages |
| Definition |
This indicator is composed of two time series: - Percentage of participation in colorectal cancer screening programs among the target population (men and women aged 50 to 74) - Percentage of participation in breast cancer screening programs among the target population (women aged 50-69) |
| Theoretical formula |
Percentage of participation in colorectal cancer screening programs among the target population (men and women aged 50 to 74) \[PP_{colorectal}^{t} = \frac{P_{colorectal}^{t}}{P_{T\, colorectal}^{t}} \cdot 100\]where: $P_{colorectal}^{t} =$ number of participants in the colorectal cancer early detection program in year $t$ $P_{T\, colorectal}^{t} =$ target population of the colorectal cancer early detection program in year $t$ Percentage of participation in breast cancer screening programs among the target population (women aged 50-69) \[PP_{breast}^{t} = \frac{P_{breast}^{t}}{P_{T\, breast}^{t}} \cdot 100\]where: $P_{breast}^{t} =$ number of participants in the breast cancer early detection program in year $t$ $P_{T\, breast}^{t} =$ target population of the breast cancer early detection program in year $t$ |
