Factors Associated With Cervical Cancer Screening Attendance in Hungary Based on the European Health Interview Survey.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

This study assessed the change in cervical cancer screening attendance across 10 years and identified the associated factors.

Methods

Data from the European Health Interview Surveys in Hungary (2009, 2014, 2019) were analyzed with multivariate and multiple logistic regressions.

Results

The analysis involved 4,850 participants, revealing a significant (p < 0.001) increase in screening attendance from 69% to 77% over 10 years. Factors significantly associated with higher attendance rates included a higher education level (tertiary level AOR = 2.51 [2.03-3.09]), being in a relationship (AOR = 1.59 [1.39-1.83]), the belief that one can do much for one's health (OR = 1.26 [1.05-1.52]), and the absence of chronic health problems (AOR = 1.56 [1.33-1.84]).
