Barometre cancer : summary

The Cancer Barometer is based on the analysis of a telephone survey conducted on a random sample, the only tool available in France to gain an understanding of the population’s beliefs, perceptions, awareness, opinions, and behaviours in relation to cancers, their risk factors, screening, and prevention methods.Studying these factors is key, given that behaviours are governed by all of these factors.

The Cancer Barometers are designed to be repeated at regular intervals over time (every five years), using the same method and similar questions to obtain a regular “snapshot” of French people’s perceptions and behaviours in relation to cancers at a given time, and also to analyse trends in the main behaviours and perceptions in respect of the disease, risk factors, and documenting the topic of inequalities.
