^aAdjusted for baseline screening status
^bAdjusted for covariates in model 1 plus additional adjustment for age, country of origin, first/second generation immigrant, marital status and income quartiles
^cAdjusted for covariates in model 2 plus additional adjustment for GP’s gender, GP’s age and GP’ country of origin
^dAdjusted for covariates in model 3 plus additional adjustment for level of education (reduced sample size because of missing values)
^e Absolute difference in change in screening participation estimated as interaction between year and intervention group in generalized estimating equation model (GEE) with binomial distribution and identity link function
