Research summary
Early identification of cervical cancer risk could prevent a large number of deaths. The NHS Cervical Screening Programme is the central strategy for reducing cervical cancer mortality. However, screening uptake rates are falling, particularly in women aged 25-49 years and remain low in deprived groups. This research aims to improve cervical screening rates overall and in particular groups (e.g., younger and deprived women), working with the NHS Cervical Cancer Screening Programme. The proposed project will pilot and test the effectiveness of a new low cost behaviour change intervention to increase uptake of cervical screening in Yorkshire
