  • A significant portion of these women reported not having a regular gynecologist.
  • Women presenting with anxiety or depression had lower rates of Pap smear completion at the unit, despite frequent visits.

    • Impact:

    • Findings indicate potential underutilization of cervical cancer screening in primary care settings for young women.
    • Suggests a disconnect between women's perceived need for gynecological care and actual screening practices.
    • Highlights the need for improved integration of preventive gynecological services within family medicine.
