Description Usage Format Contributors Author(s) Source

Description

This dataset is from Cragun et al. (2014), who analyze the association between different universal tumor screening procedures and certain levels of patient follow-through with germ-line testing for Lynch Syndrome after a screen-positive result using csQCA.

This data frame contains 15 rows (cases) and the following 8 columns (factors):

[ , 1] HPF endogenous factor: high patient follow-through ("1" yes, "0" no)

[ , 3] CA exogenous factor: challenges to adoption at least as high as facilitators ("1" yes, "0" no)
[ , 4] AR exogenous factor: automatic reflex test of screen-positive tumors ("1" yes, "0" no)
[ , 5] RR exogenous factor: genetic counselor receives positive screen results ("1" yes, "0" no)
[ , 6] DR exogenous factor: genetic counselor discloses screening result to patient ("1" yes, "0" no)
