Screening of entire communities arose out of the demographic characteristics of the area served by the Iowa LRC. The process included three components: access to names and addresses of age-eligible persons who could be contacted through a direct-mail announcement of the screening program; support of local media and community leaders; and effective on-site screening teams. Responses to direct mailings were enhanced by a coordinated mass media campaign, in which print media was more effective than radio or television. The likelihood of an age-eligible man participating in the initial contact screening for the CPPT was greater for residents of smaller than larger communities.
