Examining the effect of underlying individual preferences for present over future on lung cancer screening participation: a cross-sectional analysis of a Korean National Cancer Screening Survey.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

This study aimed to examine the effect of underlying individual preferences for the present over that for the future on lung cancer screening participation.

Setting

We analysed the data from the Korean National Cancer Screening Survey in 2018.

Participants

4500 adults aged 20-74 years old participated in the study.

Design

In this cross-sectional survey, multivariate logistic regression analysis was carried out to examine the association between subjects' intention to participate in lung cancer screening and individual preferences. The underlying individual preferences were measured on the basis of the self-reported general willingness to spend money now in order to save money in the future and general preferences with regard to financial planning.
