Abstract:
Cervical cancer screening and demonstration projects to identify barriers to optimal screening are discussed. Interview surveys showed that older women and women in low-income groups tended to have lower rates of Papanicolaou smear screening. Data produced by demonstration projects established by the Centers for Disease Control in collaboration with state and local authorities and private institutions will be used to design and implement strategies for increasing screening levels to further reduce cervical cancer mortality.
