Increase effectiveness, maximize benefits and minimize harmScreening programmes: a short guideScreening programmes: a short guideIncrease effectiveness, maximize benefits and minimize harmAbstractThe purpose of Screening is to identify people in an apparently healthy population who are at higher risk of a health problem or a condition, so that an early treatment or inter-vention can be offered and thereby reduce the incidence and/or mortality of the health problem or condition within the population. There appears to be a growing trend in the WHO European Region towards more Screening for noncommunicable diseases and health checks.
This short guide offers operational advice for designing and managing screening programmes. It seeks to support and equip policy-makers, public health profes-sionals and clinicians with a clear overview of evidence, examples and factors to consider when providing high-quality screening programme services.
