Comparing Universal Lynch Syndrome Tumor-Screening Programs

Description

This dataset is from Cragun et al. (2014), who analyze the association between different universal tumor screening procedures and certain levels of patient follow-through with germ-line testing for Lynch Syndrome after a screen-positive result using csQCA.

Usage

data(d.tumorscreen)

Format

This data frame contains 15 rows (cases) and the following 8 columns (factors):

[ , 1]	HPF	endogenous factor	:	high patient follow-through	("1" yes, "0" no)
[ , 2]	LPF	endogenous factor	:	low patient follow-through	("1" yes, "0" no)
[ , 3]	CA	exogenous factor	:	challenges to adoption at least as high as facilitators	("1" yes, "0" no)
[ , 4]	AR	exogenous factor	:	automatic reflex test of screen-positive tumors	("1" yes, "0" no)
[ , 5]	RR	exogenous factor	:	genetic counselor receives positive screen results	("1" yes, "0" no)
[ , 6]	DR	exogenous factor	:	genetic counselor discloses screening result to patient	("1" yes, "0" no)
[ , 7]	DC	exogenous factor	:	difficulty in contacting patients	("1" yes, "0" no)
