DĂ©pistage organisĂ© du cancer du col de lâutĂ©rus : dĂ©terminants de recours et inĂ©galitĂ©s sociales. Le programme de DĂ©pistage OrganisĂ© du Cancer du Col de lâUtĂ©rus sur le site pilote du Val-de-Marne
The organised cervical cancer screening (CCS) programme has been shown to be effective in increasing CCS coverage and decreasing both CC incidence and mortality. In France, until 2019, taking a CCS was mainly an opportunistic decision. However, an organised CCS pilot programme was initiated in 2010 within 13 administrative geographical areas. This pilot programme improved CCS coverage by 12 percentage points. This analysis investigated participation in CCS in the Val de Marne (VDM), which is one of the 13 areas implementing the CCS pilot program. Our objective was to identify the contextual factors associated with participation in the CCS pilot program and to examine social inequalities in participation in CCS. We analysed a large population-based sample (more than 200 000 people) including information on CCS participation extracted from administrative records and neighbourhood social deprivation. The CCS pilot programme targeted all women who did not perform a Pap smear during the past three years. Among women who were invited to the CCS pilot programme, we found that those living in the most deprived neighbourhoods and older women participated less. A clear social gradient with higher participation among women living in the least deprived neighbourhoods was reported in the 35-45 years old age group, where we also observed higher participation among women living in neighborhoods with lower proportions of single women. These associations most probably reflected the burden of both family commitments and CCS cost, which impact more screening participation among socially deprived women. In a second analysis, we aimed to examine social inequalities in participation in CCS. When comparing overall to opportunistic screening, we found similar or slightly smaller inequalities by social deprivation but larger inequalities by age. Younger women participated more both in opportunistic and organized CCS compared to older women. In France, the organised CCS programme is currently being implemented at the national level. We found persisting social inequalities in CCS participation in an area implementing a pilot organised screening programme. It is essential to increase CCS coverage in each group of the population. Our findings suggest several ways to improve CCS coverage. First, the financial barrier to CCS should be removed. Then interventions targeting health care professionals and women should be developed in order to both increase CCS participation and reduce socioeconomic inequalities in participation.Les intĂ©rĂȘts dâun dĂ©pistage organisĂ© en termes de rĂ©duction dâincidence et de mortalitĂ© du cancer du col de lâutĂ©rus (CCU), grĂące Ă une augmentation de la couverture du dĂ©pistage du CCU, ont Ă©tĂ© dĂ©montrĂ©s dans la littĂ©rature internationale. En vue de la gĂ©nĂ©ralisation du dĂ©pistage organisĂ© du CCU (DOCCU) au niveau national en France, une Ă©tude a Ă©tĂ© menĂ©e sur 13 dĂ©partements expĂ©rimentaux dont le Val-de-Marne Ă partir de 2010 et a montrĂ© une augmentation de la couverture de 12 points Ă la suite de lâimplĂ©mentation de ce programme. Toutefois, ni les dĂ©terminants de recours au DOCCU ni les inĂ©galitĂ©s sociales de participation nâont Ă©tĂ© analysĂ©s. Lâobjectif de ce travail de thĂšse Ă©tait dâidentifier les dĂ©terminants de recours au DOCCU et dâanalyser les inĂ©galitĂ©s de participation au dĂ©pistage du CCU sur le site pilote du Val-de-Marne. Ce travail sâest appuyĂ© sur un Ă©chantillon consĂ©quent de femmes (supĂ©rieur Ă 200 000) avec des donnĂ©es issues de lâassurance maladie. Dans une premiĂšre analyse conduite chez les femmes ayant Ă©tĂ© invitĂ©es au DOCCU, nous avons mis en Ă©vidence lâimportance de lâĂąge et du niveau-socioĂ©conomique du quartier de rĂ©sidence dans le recours au dĂ©pistage. Au-delĂ de la seule position socioĂ©conomique, nos rĂ©sultats suggĂšrent lâimportance du cumul des vulnĂ©rabilitĂ©s, qui semble particuliĂšrement important dans la tranche dâĂąge 35-45 ans oĂč lâimpact du poids de la famille serait majeur chez les femmes rĂ©sidant dans des quartiers socialement dĂ©favorisĂ©s. Nous pouvons supposer que ces femmes priorisent les soins dâurgence et de traitement, la prĂ©vention Ă©tant relĂ©guĂ©e au deuxiĂšme plan. Par ailleurs, les difficultĂ©s logistiques et les frais liĂ©s Ă une garde dâenfants afin de rĂ©aliser un dĂ©pistage du CCU ne sont pas nĂ©gligeables en plus du coĂ»t de la consultation mĂ©dicale souvent dĂ©jĂ Ă©levĂ©. Dans une deuxiĂšme analyse, nous avons Ă©tudiĂ© les inĂ©galitĂ©s sociales de recours au dĂ©pistage. Nos travaux montrent que les inĂ©galitĂ©s sociales restent globalement stables ou se rĂ©duisent lĂ©gĂšrement lorsque lâon tient compte du DOCCU. Toutefois les inĂ©galitĂ©s de recours selon les classes dâĂąge se creusent, le programme semblant favoriser la participation chez les femmes plus jeunes. Le dĂ©pistage organisĂ© est maintenant en dĂ©ploiement sur toute la France. AmĂ©liorer lâaccĂšs au dĂ©pistage pour toutes les catĂ©gories de population et notamment les plus vulnĂ©rables est essentiel. La combinaison dâune multitude de facteurs est la clef pour rĂ©duire les inĂ©galitĂ©s sociales de participation. DâaprĂšs nos rĂ©sultats, la barriĂšre financiĂšre demeure un obstacle majeur dans ce dĂ©pistage et doit ĂȘtre supprimĂ©e. DĂ©velopper de multiples interventions en direction des professionnels de santĂ© et des femmes est Ă©galement nĂ©cessaire afin dâaugmenter la participation et de rĂ©duire au mieux les inĂ©galitĂ©s de participation
Factors associated with participation in the organized cervical cancer screening program in the greater Paris area (France): An analysis among more than 200,000 women
International audienceWe aimed to identify the contextual factors associated with participation in the organized Cervical Cancer Screening (CCS) pilot program, which includes specific interventions to reach vulnerable women, in the Greater Paris region.Study population consisted of 231,712 women aged 25â65 years, who were not up to date to their smear test and had been invited to take part in the program from July 2014 to September 2017. Using a multilevel mixed logistic regression with random effects, we investigated the effect of grassroots interventions targeting vulnerable women, healthcare provider accessibility, social environment and municipal policy-related factors.The CCS rate was two times higher in women who had received their first invitation to the program during the study period (32·9%) compared to those who were already invited before the study period (15·3%). In both populations, there were no significant trends in participation with regards to the type of grassroots interventions, level of accessibility of healthcare services or municipal commitment to healthcare. Among women invited previously and aged above 35 increased participation was seen in neighborhoods with low proportion of single women or in less deprived neighborhoods.Our results identified groups of women who participated less in the organized CCS program and suggested that additional interventions targeting the barriers faced by vulnerable women, especially those aged 35â45 years old, are needed
