A preliminary review of the barriers to data availability will be conducted.
Capitalising on the experience of the ongoing pilot project for development of an EU screening information system as part of the CanScreen-ECIS, assistance with training and capacity building (using the modules developed within the pilot project) will be provided to collect and review the data and identify roadmaps to improve data quality and completeness. Approaches to ECIS data entry will be piloted using individual-level data for data sharing models and tools developed in Task 5.4. Data collection procedures involving analysis of individual-level data will be piloted in exemplary countries volunteering to test this approach. Based on the activities performed in task 5.4, this task will assess the feasibility of sharing in the central database of the CanScreen-ECIS web portal data from local standardised individual databases automatically aggregated in a standard format file, by using software locally provided by the project team. This approach would allow obtaining aggregated data stratified by the large set of dimensions (smaller age groups, education level, income, SES, risk level, and per-year classes).
These dimensions of potential interest and inequity were identified as relevant in the ongoing CanScreen ECIS pilot.
This task will be led by CPO, Italy.
