    Area of Science:

    • Gynecology
    • Public Health
    • Preventive Medicine

    Background:

    • Cervical cancer screening programs rely on regular participation.
    • Understanding factors influencing repeat screening attendance is crucial for program effectiveness.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate factors affecting women's response to computer-generated recall letters for repeat cervical smear tests.
    • To compare factors influencing repeat screening attendance with those affecting initial screening recruitment.

    Main Methods:

    • A cohort of 1,007 women with a normal cervical smear result were followed up over three years.
    • Response rates to a computer-generated recall letter were analyzed.
    • Interviews were conducted with women who returned for screening and those who did not.

    Main Results:

    • Working outside the home and full-time employment were associated with lower response rates.
    • The location of the initial smear test influenced recall response, with mobile industrial clinics showing lower attendance.
    • Non-response was a conscious decision, often due to perceived difficulties finding time, fear, or embarrassment from previous tests.

    Conclusions:

    • Factors influencing repeat cervical screening attendance differ from those affecting initial recruitment.
    • Consistent positive experiences and accessible screening facilities appear to favor regular participation in cytological screening programs.
