Individual-level characteristics and geospatial factors associated with cervical cancer screening participation in Alberta, Canada
This study found that cervical cancer screening participation varied across geographical, health system and sociodemographic characteristics and identified clusters of regions with higher proportions of women who are under-screened in Alberta, Canada. Overall, these findings will help inform the design of interventions that aims to improve cervical cancer screening participation among underserved groups
Understanding Patients’ Perspectives for Integrating Screening Brief Intervention and Referral for Health Promotion in Diverse Healthcare Settings
