What would encourage you to attend?
Professionals looking at potential reasons cervical exams are missed have uncovered a number of groups who are least likely to attend their appointments.
However, some of the main reasons women and people with cervixes tend not to visit go along to their routine appointments are more simple than many realise, with childcare and transportation being one of the biggest issues facing women.Last month the Glasgow Times launched its new campaign, Don’t Fear the Smear, in a bid to encourage those aged between 25 and 64 years old to attend their vital screening tests., has been studying the reasons behind those who choose to put off their visit.
Recently, the group conducted a small-scale study in Glasgow of faith-based intervention for Muslim women to encourage screenings for breast, bowel and cervical cancer with the professor now turning her attention to how this has affected the confidence of those involved to attend screenings and their likelihood to do so in the future.
“There can be a lack of knowledge about the test and what’s it for. For people who are feeling healthy and don’t have symptoms, they can put it off, they might not realise the importance of finding it before it turns into symptoms.“There’s a great deal of fear. It’s cancer and people are frightened of cancer and then the test, itself, although it only takes five minutes.”
