Older people have a broad range of needs in different domains of life. Discrepancies exist between older people and professionals with regard to their views on timing and scope of early detection initiatives. This study aimed to reveal starting-points for better alignment between initiatives and older people's needs and preferences. Such starting points may support policy makers and care professionals involved in early detection initiatives to make more informed decisions.
