Phase II of Have a Heart Paisley (HaHP) employed social marketing to offer risk screening to 45'60 year olds. Striking inequalities in uptake of screening according to socioeconomic deprivation (SED) were observed, with individuals living in the most SED areas being under-represented.

We explore the views and experiences of individuals participating in the Unmet Need study. We examining the barriers and facilitators to engaging hard to reach populations.
