Non-participation in cervical cancer screening according to health, lifestyle and sexual behavior: A population-based study of nearly 15,000 Danish women aged 23-45 years.

High participation in cervical cancer screening is essential for an effective screening program. In this population-based study, we investigated associations between general health, lifestyle and sexual behavior, and non-participation in cervical cancer screening in Denmark. During 2011-2012, a random sample of women aged 18-45 years from the general female population were invited to participate in a survey regarding health, lifestyle and sexual habits.

Determinants for Participation in Human Papillomavirus Self-Sampling among Nonattenders to Cervical Cancer Screening in Denmark.

Offering human papillomavirus-based self-sampling to nonparticipants in routine cervical cancer screening can increase screening participation.

In this population-based study, we investigated determinants for participation in self-sampling among Danish nonattenders to routine cervical cancer screening.

Factors associated with non-participation in cervical cancer screening - A nationwide study of nearly half a million women in Denmark.

Screening history in women aged 23-49 years invited for cervical cancer screening in 2008-2009 was retrieved from the Danish Pathology Databank with information about dates of invitation and unsubscription.
