Screening is a form of an intervention. Studies of screening are not testing the characteristics of a diagnostic test, they are applying the test as an intervention to an asymptomatic population with intent to improve outcomes. The topic of screening deserves its own space in evidence-based medicine curricula because it introduces the important concepts of lead time bias, length time bias and the distinction between survival and mortality. In this chapter, we demonstrate visual aids and teaching techniques which are effective for these concepts and widely applicable to the topic of screening as it relates to multiple conditions and specialties within medicine.
