Perceptions of cervical screening uptake amongst South Asian women in Ontario, Canada: a concept mapping study
As Ontario and many other jurisdictions around the world seek to strengthen cervical screening efforts in line with national and international goals to eliminate cervical cancer by 2040, it is critical to address underscreening. This CM study recognizes the value of engaging those most impacted by an issue, to identify and prioritize how and where to intervene to address low rates of cervical screening. To address underscreening we need to design multi-level interventions that address the identified ideas and the interrelationships among them.
