Description of attendance at cervical screening of FGD-participants based on information from National Quality Register of Cervical Cancer Prevention (NQRCP)^a.

<p>^aAttendance at cervical screening is calculated according to the recommendations of the Swedish National Board of Health and Welfare. The time in mean years delay for all visits per women was calculated from the completion of the third year at ages 23 to 50 years and the fifth 5 year at ages 51 to 60 years. Non-attendance to screening does not necessarily mean that women have never participated. Non-attendance should be interpreted as non-adherence to Swedish screening recommendations.</p><p>Description of attendance at cervical screening of FGD-participants based on information from National Quality Register of Cervical Cancer Prevention (NQRCP)<a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0107624#t002fn001" target="_blank">^a</a>.</p
