19. Conclusion -
From the survey conducted, we can conclude that the main
reason for not taking this test is low level of awareness
among the masses. The people surveyed had no clue about
what sample is being used, what is the purpose of the test
and what is the cost for this test. Thus, in order to lure
people to undergo this test, we need to first make them
aware about this test and also we should tell them about
the pricing plan for this test. Moreover, we have to convince
them that why this test is as good as a blood test.
