The history of prostate screening policy, organisational structures and funding models appeared to drive more prostate screening in Australia and less in the UK. In Australia, screening processes and decisions were mostly at the discretion of individual clinicians, and varied considerably, whereas the accounts of UK GPs clearly reflected a consistent, organisationally embedded approach based on local evidence-based recommendations to discourage screening.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The GP accounts suggested that healthcare systems, including historical and current organisational and funding structures and rules, collectively contribute to how and why clinicians use the PSA test and play a significant role in creating the mindlines that GPs employ in their clinic. Australia's recently released consensus guidelines may support more streamlined and consistent care. However, if GP mindlines and thus routine practice in Australia are to shift, to ultimately reduce unnecessary or harmful prostate screening, it is likely that other important drivers at all levels of the screening process will need to be addressed.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1136\/bmjopen-2016-011932","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,12,5]],"date-time":"2016-12-05T21:10:34Z","timestamp":1480972234000},"page":"e011932","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1136\/crossmarkpolicy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":23,"title":["Doctors' perspectives on PSA testing illuminate established differences in prostate cancer screening rates between Australia and the UK: a qualitative study"],"prefix":"10.1136","volume":"6","author":[{"given":"Kristen","family":"Pickles","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Values, Ethics and the Law in Medicine, University of Sydney, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Stacy M","family":"Carter","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Values, Ethics and the Law in Medicine, University of Sydney, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lucie","family":"Rychetnik","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Medicine, University of Notre Dame, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Vikki A","family":"Entwistle","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Health Services Research Unit, University of Aberdeen, Foresterhill Aberdeen, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"239","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2016,12,5]]},"reference":[{"key":"2025121403412758000_6.12.e011932.1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.juro.2013.04.119"},{"key":"2025121403412758000_6.12.e011932.2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/bjc.2011.430"},{"key":"2025121403412758000_6.12.e011932.3","unstructured":"Globocan 2012: estimated cancer incidence, mortality, and prevalence worldwide in 2012: International Agency for Research on Cancer.
