International Journal of Public Health, 2009, vol. 54, issue 4, 222-232

Abstract: The study concludes that the effect of SES on screening is mediated mainly by the structural barriers in accessing the healthcare system, as well as women’s perceptions of the multiple costs of the smear. These conclusions are relevant to the development of national screening programs and health promotion in the two countries. Copyright Birkhäuser Verlag, Basel 2009
