Screening can reduce deaths from cancer if the people invited participate. Bowel screening uptake in women is lower than breast and cervical. Understanding why women invited to all three screening programmes choose to screen two parts of their body but not their bowel may offer insight into how bowel screening uptake can be increased.   By using screening data from all 3 programmes for women in Glasgow, linked within the region’s Safe Haven, we undertook intertwined quantitative and qualitative studies to examine differences in screening uptake and reasons for this.
