abstract: 'Objective: Health policy in the UK is committed to tackling inequalities
in cancer screening participation. We examined whether socioeconomic
inequalities in breast and cervical cancer screening participation in
England have reduced over five years.
Methods: Cross-sectional analyses compared cervical and breast screening
coverage between 2007/8 and 2012/13 in Primary Care Trusts (PCTs) in
England in relation to area-level income deprivation.
Results: At the start and the end of this five year period, there were
socioeconomic inequalities in screening coverage for breast and cervical
screening. Inequalities were highest for breast screening. Over time,
the coverage gap between the highest and lowest quintiles of income
deprivation significantly reduced for breast screening (from 12.3 to 8.3
percentage points), but not for cervical screening (5.3 to 4.9
percentage points).
Conclusions: Efforts to reduce screening inequalities appear to have
resulted in a significant improvement in equitable delivery of breast
screening, although not of cervical screening. More work is needed to
understand the differences, and see whether broader lessons can be
learned from the reduction of inequalities in breast screening
participation.'
