- Findings: About 10% (n = 1,648) of the women surveyed had been screened for cervical cancer.; Screening was more likely at ages 45 to 49 (adjusted odds ratio 6.42), with higher education (14.26) and in wealthier households (3.46).
- What it means: Cervical screening in the Philippines reached a small minority of women in 2022 and mostly the better off, which is the gap the authors say screening programmes should target.
- Caveats: Self-reported screening.; Women of reproductive age only, so older women are not counted.
