Title:	EXPRESS – Exploring the social and ethical implications of risk stratified screening for society as a whole
Project Description:	A key challenge in moving from a system in which population screening is based only on age and/or sex to a stratified approach in which screening varies according to individuals’ modelled/estimated risk of disease is identifying the most appropriate strategy for implementation. In this multidisciplinary project, we will conduct two linked studies: A community jury study to explore the social and ethical implications of different ways of introducing risk stratification into screening programmes from a societal perspective and elicit views on the most acceptable strategies. A discrete choice experiment to describe the relative importance of different attributes of potential stratified screening programmes at an individual level and the trade-offs individuals are willing to make between these.
