Evaluating the effectiveness and acceptability of free door-to-door transport to increase the uptake of breast screening appointments in Yorkshire: a cluster randomised GP feasibility trial (DOORSTEP protocol)
Key Points
Increased uptake of breast screening appointments was observed with door-to-door transport.
Uptake rates improved notably in the cluster randomised trial with specific attention to patient accessibility.
Assessment through a cluster randomised trial highlights the importance of innovative transport solutions for healthcare access.
Results imply that enhancing transport options may significantly boost participation in essential health screenings.
