Age-specific differences in cervical cancer screening rates in women using mental health services in New South Wales, Australia

CONCLUSION: Women who use mental health services are less likely to participate in cervical cancer screening. Rates diverged from population rates in service users aged ⩾35 years and were very low for women aged >65 years. Intervention is needed to bridge these gaps. New screening approaches such as self-testing may assist.PMID:38095076 | DOI:10.1177/00048674231217415
