Physician-Level Determinants of Cervical Cancer Screening Practices: A Socio-Ecological Model-Based Study from Adjara, Georgia
These findings indicate that gaps between physician attitudes and screening promotion are largely driven by structural and organizational factors rather than a lack of professional support. Efforts to reduce workflow constraints, improve clarity around screening guidance, and integrate preventive counselling into routine clinical practice may be essential for improving screening uptake in similar healthcare system contexts.
