Cervical Cancer Screening Awareness Survey (Focus: US)

The recent report in 2018 by the US Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) shows that the cervical cancer related mortality has substantially decreased due to screening programmes. The report mentions that number of deaths have declined from 2.8 to 2.3 per 100,000 women from 2000 to 2015. 
We did an online survey in this month in the US to understand following -
​

​
  • what are the key reasons behind not going for the voluntary screening?
