Article Synopsis
- The study examined cervical cancer screening patterns among adolescents aged 14-20 before and after the 2009 ACOG recommendations, using data from National Ambulatory Medical Care Surveys (2005-2016).
- The results revealed that while the screening rate for females aged 14-20 dropped from 4.5% to 0.4% over the years studied, older adolescents and those visiting gynecologists were more likely to be screened.
- The research highlighted regional differences, finding that living in the Southern U.S. increased the likelihood of screening, whereas having public insurance decreased it, indicating ongoing issues with adherence to updated screening guidelines.
