Lower socioeconomic groups often face barriers such as financial constraints, time limitations, and healthcare mistrust, which may skew adherence outcomes. Additionally, the study overlooks post-screening psychological impacts (e.g., anxiety from false positives) on long-term compliance. We propose integrating socioeconomic analyses, psychological interventions, and technological innovations (e.g., AI-driven tools for personalized reminders and counseling) to enhance screening equity and adherence.
