057 - Using artificial intelligence in forward-backward translation of questionnaires for men invited to prostate cancer screening

Biography

I hold a BSc in Biomedical Laboratory Science and an MSc in Public Health, and I am currently a PhD student at Randers Regional Hospital. My PhD project is part of the EU4Health initiative, PRAISE-U, aimed at developing, implementing and evaluating a multi-step prostate cancer screening strategy across Poland, Lithuania, Ireland, and Spain. My research explores knowledge and attitudes towards prostate cancer screening, the psychosocial impact of different participation stages, and the experiences of low-risk participants. Passionate about improving public health, I strive to bridge the gap between research and practical healthcare solutions
