Cervical cancer screening among women ≥70years of age in the United States-A referral problem or patient choice
2015, Preventive MedicineCitation Excerpt :First, information on Pap smear use, access to care, and receiving recommendations for Pap smears was self-reported and subject to recall bias. Pap smear use may be overestimated as we did not have medical records to confirm patient reports (Bowman et al., 1997; Caplan et al., 2003; Gordon et al., 1993; Johnson et al., 1995; Montaño and Phillips, 1995; Suarez et al., 1995; Vernon et al., 2004). Moreover, women may have misinterpreted receiving a pelvic examination as undergoing a Pap smear.
Cervical cancer screening in Middle Eastern and Asian migrants to Australia: A record linkage study
2012, Cancer EpidemiologyCitation Excerpt :Many, however, have inferred ethnicity from women's family names [22–24] or their residence in areas known to have high populations of immigrants, which may entail substantial misclassification of country of birth [3,25]. In addition, most have been based on self-reports of cervical screening, which are well known to be subject to recall and social desirability biases [26,27]. Moreover, a number of the studies included samples of only a few hundred women, which precluded detailed analysis.
Inequalities in cervical cancer screening for women with or without a regular consulting in primary care for gynaecological health, in Paris, France
2012, Preventive MedicineCitation Excerpt :However, upon examining the substantial strengths of the estimated associations, we think that our results are meaningful and that they cannot be completely explained by such biases. Furthermore, many previous studies concluded that, if the self-reporting of CCST could lead to an overestimation of this practice, this overestimation was not different according to women' SES (Bowman et al., 1997; Mamoon et al., 2001). These results – as well as the fact that 55.5% of the women with RCGH who indicated that they had never had a CCST reported that nobody had ever proposed such a test to them – could be taken to mean that French primary care providers do not follow cancer screening recommendations as closely with these women and that the primary health-care system is thereby contributing to social inequalities in women's cancer prevention.
Inadequate cervical cancer screening among mid-aged Australian women who have experienced partner violence
2009, Preventive MedicineCitation Excerpt :This was evident in the time between the first questionnaire in 1996 and the fourth questionnaire in 2004 and likely to be a reason for non-response at the initial mailout in 1996. Furthermore, the self-report measures used in this study might also limit the findings (Bowman et al., 1997; Canfell et al., 2006). However, the study also has strengths.
