This study shows that rather than the "year of life saved" criterion, it is more important to take into account the preferences of the people concerned by a screening programme. Based on the low feasibility and acceptability, ANDEM concluded, in a report published in October 1995, that it was inappropriate to implement a screening programme for hemochromatosis in France. Other output or dissemination activity: There is no screening program of Hemochromatosis in France.
