Evaluation of follow-up colposcopy procedures after abnormal cervical screening result across a statewide study in Mississippi
Despite high cervical cancer screening rates among Mississippians, a substantial proportion did not have adequate next-step intervention. However, it is encouraging that highest risk individuals were more likely to have a colposcopy. Regardless, continuing to understand the underlying causes for incomplete follow-up is crucial for timely secondary targeted interventions to reduce cervical cancer burden, promote awareness, and improve health outcomes.
