Screening takes place in a population without symptoms of the disease. The screening test characteristics have consequences for the favourable (improvement of prognosis by early detection, life years saved and deaths prevented) and unfavourable (overdiagnosis, unnecessary treatments) effects of screening.<\/p>\n<p>There are a number of designs for the assessment of the effectiveness of screening, such as randomized-controlled trials, observational prospective studies and case control studies. The pros and cons of each of these designs will be discussed. Evaluation methodologies, such as cost-effectiveness, cost-utility and technology assessment will be explained, including the concepts of quality adjustment of life years and of time preference. Detailed case studies include cervical, breast and prostate cancer screening, genetic screening, youth health care and screening for tuberculosis, e.g. for high risk groups. Several computer aids for the evaluation of screening are presented.<\/p>\n<p>Only the afternoon sessions require physical presence.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-3299","cursus","type-cursus","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Planning and Evaluation of Screening [EL022] - Vereniging voor Epidemiologie<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.epidemiologie.nl\/en\/cursus\/planning-and-evaluation-of-screening-el022\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Planning and Evaluation of Screening [EL022] - Vereniging voor Epidemiologie\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"This course focuses on the design and the evaluation of health care programmes for the early detection of disease or screening.
