What is Organized Breast and Cervical Cancer Screening: Attendance and Determinants in Southern Italy about?

## Simple Summary Although the effectiveness of screening in reducing the mortality of breast and cervical cancer in the EU is established, the impact of these cancers continues to be substantial among women. The aims of this study were to evaluate the attendance to breast and cervical cancer screening and the role of related determinants in an area of Southern Italy. Only 49.7% of the sample reported to have undergone mammography in the previous two years, 27.7% within an organized program and 22% as an opportunistic procedure. The attendance to cervical cancer screening interval of three years was reported by 56.1% of women, 16.1% within an organized program and 40% as an opportunistic procedure. A very low attendance was thus detected for both breast and cervical cancer organized screening programs. A strong commitment to the promotion of these programs is urgently needed, also to support their role in the reduction of inequalities of attendance of disadvantaged women. ## Abstract The aims of this study were to evaluate the attendance to breast and cervical cancer screening and the related determinants in a low attendance area. A cross-sectional study was conducted among mothers
