Summary

This study tests whether a general practitioner's encouragement can increase the number of women who get screened for cervical cancer. Over 11,000 women aged 25-65 in France who are behind on screening will be involved. The goal is to see if a simple conversation with their family doctor can boost participation in the national screening program.
