The NHS are starting to invite 55 year olds to have bowel scope screening, a test that can help prevent bowel cancer. Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²ÊÖÐÌØÍø researchers would like to know more about the bowel scope testing experience, how physically active you are, and your thoughts on speaking with a healthcare professional about ways to reduce your cancer risk.

What will taking part involve?

  • Participation will last for 11 days
  • You will be given access to an app to download onto your phone
  • On each day, at 5 different time-points, you will be asked to take a few minutes to answer a handful of short questions
