Full description

The 2011 Census database was linked, via the Community Health Index number, with the Scottish Cervical Screening Programme data to generate anonymised individual level information on cervical screening participation rates by self-reported ethnic group in Scotland. The cohort comprised women (aged 20 to 70) who were living in Scotland in April 2011 and took part in the 2011 Scottish census, and who were invited to participate in the Scottish Cervical Screening Programme between January 2012 and December 2018. All ethnic groups were compared to the population of White Scottish women. Qualitative interviews were carried out with 50 women (South Asian, East European, Chinese, Black African / Caribbean, or White Scottish).
