Research studies involving population screening could be important in assessing short and long-term benefits of eradicating @entity1534 . Compliance with screening is an important factor to be considered. Two population studies sought to assess public awareness of @entity1534 , interest in screening for the bacterium, and the acceptability of two blood tests. One hundred adults were interviewed in a street survey in Market Harborough, Leicestershire. Although only 4-14% of those interviewed had heard of @entity1534 , 73% expressed an interest in screening. In the second study, a population sample of 50 @entity1 and @entity1 aged 21-55 years, from a general practice in the same town, were offered screening. This sample was divided into two matched groups of 25; one group was offered a test involving venepuncture and the other group was offered a 'near- @entity1 ' finger prick test. To confirm results, this exercise was subsequently repeated with a further two groups of 25 subjects. There was an overall acceptance rate of 41% for the actual offer of screening. Overall, 28/50 subjects (56%) accepted venepuncture, but only 13/50 (26%) accepted the finger prick test.
