Synopsis

Women who live in rural and remote areas report poorer access to screening tests such as Pap smears and mammograms. In this project we will compare the probability that women living in urban, regional and remote parts of Australia are having Pap tests such and mammograms according to current guidelines, and factors other than area of residence that may contribute to poorer uptake of these services.
