Article Synopsis
- Vulnerable social groups struggle with accessing quality care, particularly for cervical cancer screening via Cervico-Uterine Smear (CUS), highlighting the need for effective primary care systems.
- A study in France examined data from 695,694 women aged 25 to 64 in 2012, revealing that 29% underwent CUS, primarily by gynecologists, with significant screening rate disparities based on age, location, and socioeconomic status.
- The findings suggest that involving General Practitioners in cervical screening could enhance equality in access to care, particularly for deprived populations, emphasizing the importance of organizing health systems around primary care.
Background: The aims of the "médecin traitant" or referring physician (RP) reform, introduced in France in 2004, were to improve the organisation and quality of care and to allow for greater equity, particularly in terms of prevention. The objective of our study was to evaluate the effect of having a declared RP on the uptake of screening for breast and cervical cancers, and to explore the mechanisms involved.
Methods: We used an existing dataset of 1,072,289 women, which combines data from the Health Insurance information systems, with census data.
