How Do We Evaluate the Effectiveness of Screening Programs?
The effectiveness of a screening program can be evaluated through: - Reduction in Mortality and Morbidity: Comparing disease-related death and complication rates before and after the introduction of the screening program. - Cost-Benefit Analysis: Assessing whether the financial and social costs of the screening program are justified by the health benefits. - Quality of Life: Evaluating how the screening impacts the quality of life of those screened and treated.
