To encourage women to participate in breast and cervical state-paid screening programs, an experiment was conducted, during which easy access was provided to the screening and each woman who had not used the state-paid screening opportunity was addressed through direct communication. Screening coverage after the experiment improved up to 288%, demonstrating the importance of a behavioural economics nudge approach and tailored communication in the overall health communication process provided within the socio-ecological model.

Organized Screening Program

The aims of this study were to evaluate the attendance to breast and cervical cancer screening and the related determinants in a low attendance area. A cross-sectional study was conducted among mothers of students attending secondary schools and university courses in Campania region, Southern Italy. Only 49.7% of the eligible women reported to have undergone mammography in the previous two years. Unemployed women, unsatisfied about their health status, with a family history of breast cancer, and having visited a physician in the previous 12 months were significantly more likely to have undergone mammography in the previous two years within an organized screening program. The attendance to cervical cancer screening in the interval of three years was reported to be 56.1% of women. Having a lower than graduation degree, being smokers, and having visited a physician in the previous 12 months were significant predictors of having had a Pap-smear in the previous three years in an organized screening program. In this study a very low attendance was found to both breast and cervical cancer organized screening programs. A strong commitment to their promotion is urgently needed, also to reduce inequalities of attendance of disadvantaged women.

Breast and cervical cancer incidence and mortality among women have been increasing worldwide. This cross-sectional study aimed to evaluate women's knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors regarding breast and cervical cancers. The sample was composed of 507 women aged 18 years and older who were admitted to a primary health care center in Karabük, Turkey, from October to December 2019. The data was obtained using a questionnaire consisting of 34 questions regarding participants’ socio demographic characteristics, knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors toward breast and cervical cancers. The mean age of the participants was 41.3±12.0 years and 68.4% of them were married. Slightly more than seven in ten participants knew that the most common cancer in women was breast cancer. Almost six in ten knew that breast self-examination was the first method in the early diagnosis of breast cancer. Breast self examination practice was found to be significant among university graduates. Periodic mammography and pap smear screenings among participants were 21.9% and 23.3%, respectively. Only 3.4% of participants had received the HPV vaccine and there was no significant difference between socio-demographic characteris tics and HPV vaccination status (p-value > 0.05). Participants had moderate knowledge about breast and cervical cancer. Access to cancer screening programs should be facilitated and increased, considering these cancers' public health importance.

The aim of the study was to assess adherence to breast and cervical cancer screening ensuring compliance with ethical principles.Material and methods. A total of 1,015 women of target age groups, living in Almaty, the Republic of Kazakhstan, participated in breast and cervical cancer screenings. A structured questionnaire was used to collect data from each participant (1,239 questionnaires: 674 for breast cancer screening and 565 for cervical cancer screening). Two hundred and twenty-four women participated in two screenings. The survey was conducted immediately after the respondents had had a mammography and / or Pap test. The questionnaire included the socio-demographic characteristics of women, questions on awareness of screening, level of knowledge before and after screening, sources of information, feelings before screening, after screening and and also after the receipt of test results. Binary logistic regression was used for data analysis.Results. Sixty-one percent (95 % CI 57.7; 63.1) of women participated in screening for the first time, 39 % (95 % CI 36.4; 41.8) of respondents visited outpatient clinic for the second and the third time. Multivariable analysis revealed that the participation in screening was associated with the purpose of visit, awareness and confidentiality. Thus, women, who arrived at the outpatient clinic with purposes other than screening were 2.3 times less (OR=2 95 % CI 1.6; 3.1) likely to participate in next screening compared to those, who came to the clinic with the purpose of screening as well as those, who were referred by employers (OR=2 95 % CI 1.2; 3.2) or friend/family (OR=2 95 % CI 1.0; 4.3). Women, who had little information about screening as a whole and about screening test before it was taken, were 3 and 2 times less likely to come to screening again (OR=3 95 % CI 1.6; 5.9 and OR=2 95 % CI 0.8; 3.7, respectively). The confidentiality violation led to a decrease in chance (OR=3.5 95 % CI 2.2; 4.9) of being screened again for those women, who experienced nervousness and shame during the screening, and also indicated the presence of nonmedical people during the test.Conclusion. Measures aimed to ensure compliance to ethics in screening for breast and cervical cancer will improve the quality of screening programs in accordance with international standards, as well as increase the personal responsibility for active participation in screening.
