Maps of the smoothed standardised participation ratios (sSPRs) for bowel cancer screening by Statistical Area Level 2, persons, Australia, 2019–2020, with insets of the state and territory capitals.
The map for Canberra includes the boundary between the Australian Capital Territory and New South Wales. An SPR with value 1 indicates that screening participation is the same as the national average (43.8%) over 2019–2020. Grey indicates areas not included in spatial analysis due to small populations.

Maps of posterior probability (PP) for bowel cancer screening by Statistical Area Level 2 and time-period, persons, Australia., 2019–2020 with insets for selected major state and territory capitals.
Values of the PP for smoothed standardised participation ratios are truly lower than average (PP <0.2), uncertain (PP = 0.2–0.8) and higher than average (PP >0.8). The map for Canberra includes the boundary between the Australian Capital Territory and New South Wales.
