The study used mixed-methods to illustrate the complexity of the interplay between the contexts in Bulgaria and Romania and women's attitudes and behaviors related to screening. A secondary analysis of quantitative data from Romanian (n = 1053) and Bulgarian (n = 1099) women and qualitative interviews ( n = 30 Romanian, n = 35 Bulgarian) was performed. Low rates of screening attendance were found in both countries. Regression analysis illustrates that attitudes and social norms significantly predicted intentions and screening behavior in both countries. Thematic analysis revealed that systemic barriers and cultural meanings were relevant to women's decisions to attend screening or avoid contact with the health-care system
