Official Title: Follow-up of Abnormal and Inadequate Test Results in the Danish Cervical Cancer Screening Program.
Brief Summary:
Denmark has a higher incidence of cervical cancer than other Nordic countries, although all Danish women (aged 23-65) are screened regularly to identify possible cervical dysplasia or asymptomatic invasive cancer.
Annually 40 000 women receives an abnormal or inadequate test result and a follow-up recommendation.
However problems with delayed follow-up may threaten the effectiveness of the Danish Cervical Cancer Screening Program, as 20% of women are delayed and dysplasia potentially can progress into cancer.
Delayed follow-up is found in situations where women either consciously or unconsciously postpone follow-up, or because of organizational aspects of the screening program, where communication regarding test results can fail either in content or with delay.This study will evaluate two interventions designed to increase follow-up:
The results will be of great importance to the future
