University of Bristol 1. Uptake of Health Checks: Patients motivations mostly related to preventative reasons and a desire to be informed about risk factors and early warning signs, as these patients highlight: “ If they pick up something…you’re sort of doing the preventative rather than actually dealing with something which..may be worse….’ ( Mrs Monroe, yrs, 3 rd quintile, medium risk) A few patients indicated that they did not wish to be a burden on their family, the NHS or state: ‘..yeah, try and keep myself healthy as I can, to try and reduce that kind of pressure on society’ ( Mrs Kelly, 4 th quintile, low risk) ‘And I have changed my diet um and, and lost a stone in weight I thinks as a result actually. So I am happy with that, that makes me feel even healthier’ ( Mrs Gray, yrs 3rd quintile, medium risk)
