Cervical Cancer Screening among Women from Muslim-Majority Countries in Ontario, Canada
Conclusions: We have shown that being born in a Muslim-majority country is associated with a decreased likelihood of being up-to-date on cervical screening in Ontario and that access to primary care has a sizeable impact on screening uptake.
Impact: Screening efforts need to take into account the background characteristics of population subgroups and to focus on increasing primary care access for all. Cancer Epidemiol Biomarkers Prev; 26(10); 1493–9. ©2017 AACR.
