Abstract
In this paper, we identify the factors associated with cancer screening participation in Korea. We expand upon previous studies through a multilevel mediation model and a composite regional socioeconomic status index which combines education level and income level. Results of the model indicate that education level, nutritional education status and income level are significantly associated with cancer screening participation. With our findings in mind, we recommend health authorities to increase promotional health campaigns toward certain at-risk groups and expand the availability of nutrition education programs.
