Wonderful opportunity to show the difference that behavioural science and inclusivity can make to cancer EDx research, including the @ABACus_3 @YESSstudy examples

Kate Brain shares insights from behavioural research about the value of including the patient & public voice in trial design and delivery, showing 3 examples of co-designed approaches:
👉cancer symptom help-seeking
👉lung screening & smoking cessation
👉prostate cancer risk awareness
and the recommendations for including diverse voices:
👉diversify research methods
👉decentralise trials and studies
👉address pre-conceptions

A pleasure to join @yorkshirecancer to discuss with Chancellor @RachelReevesMP how important it is to have integrated stop smoking intervention within lung cancer screening programmes, and to maintain funding for stop smoking services across the board
It was a pleasure to welcome Chancellor @RachelReevesMP to the Leeds Lung Health Check this week.
The Chancellor saw first-hand the importance of early diagnosis and the benefits of making screening accessible within the community.

Sarah Fry will use an Early Detection and Diagnosis Primer Award to measure the acceptability and accessibility of using a peer-led WhatsApp community to share prostate cancer risk messages.
