Description
Yuqian Zhang and co-authors published this public health study in 2026. It measures how satisfied people in China are with organized cancer screening programs. The survey covered 5,024 screening participants aged 35 to 69 across 26 provinces in 2022. Overall satisfaction was high, at 82.8 percent, but the map was uneven: Shandong and Gansu topped ninety percent, while Hainan sat at 67 percent.
People who rated their own health as excellent were far more likely to be satisfied, and physically active people were somewhat more so. In free screening, a family history of cancer went with lower satisfaction. Statistical modeling showed provincial context explained only a small slice of the differences. Income seemed to act indirectly, through lower chronic disease and better self-rated health. The authors say programs should attend most to participants with unhealthy lifestyles and lower incomes.
