    Prescriptive screening, benefiting individuals, is most effective for childhood conditions like phenylketonuria and hypothyroidism. Challenges include ensuring population compliance and managing borderline cases in screening programs.

    Area of Science:

    • Public Health
    • Preventive Medicine
    • Medical Screening

    Background:

    • Prescriptive screening focuses on individual health benefits.
    • Current screening programs are evaluated across all life stages.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To assess the efficacy of various screening programs.
    • To identify conditions where screening is most beneficial for individuals.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of existing screening programs from antenatal to old age.
    • Analysis of conditions screened for at different life stages.

    Main Results:

    • Screening is most confidently recommended for infants and children.
    • Effective infant screenings include phenylketonuria, hypothyroidism, visual/auditory impairments, and hip dislocation.

  • Antenatal screening for Down's syndrome and neural tube defects is effective in high-risk groups.
  • School-age screening for visual/auditory defects and dental diseases is valuable.

    • Conclusions:

    • Childhood screenings offer the most confident recommendations for individual benefit.
    • Key challenges include achieving high compliance rates and managing borderline cases.
    • Further research is needed to address compliance and treatment decisions in screening programs.
