In Vietnamese: Tầm soát Prevention

Screening is designed for populations, and each programme has an age range and an interval it was designed for.
It has benefits and harms — finding things that would never have caused trouble is a real cost, not a footnote.
Worth asking: for my age and risk, is this one worth doing.

Often confused with: Diagnostic testing — done because there is already a symptom or a finding.
