Examining cervical cancer screening adherence: How does healthism influence participation
Cervical cancer is a major public health issue. While HPV screening and vaccination are crucial preventive measures, many countries still struggle to meet the WHO’s participation targets due to a range of systemic, socioeconomic, and psychological barriers. Recent studies suggest that beyond these factors, women’s decisions to attend screening are increasingly shaped by cultural norms that promote health as a personal responsibility, framing part…

However, and despite epidemiological data showing men’s general disadvantage in health, there are only a few empirical studies that explore men’s experiences of chronic illness. Drawing on empirical data collected in qualitative research on masculinity and autoimmune diabetes, this article investigates the multiple ways in which gender may intersect wi…
