Intervention With General Practitioners to Improve Women's Participation in Cervical Cancer Screening
In France, cervical cancer is the 12th most common female cancer with nearly 3,000 new cases per year.
Since 2018, a national Organized Cervical Cancer Screening program (DOCCU) has been set up and concerns all asymptomatic women aged 25 to 65.
This program, managed by the Regional Cancer Screening Coordination Centers (CRCDC), invites women who have not taken a sample within the recommended time frame to consult for screening. However, only 59% of patients participated.
The intervention of the general practitioner, an essential player in prevention, could allow for better awareness.
The objective of the INDIGO study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the intervention of a general practitioner on the participation rate in the DOCCU of patients who are not up to date with their screening.
Inclusion: Woman aged 25 to 65 living in Ile-De-France; Eligible for DOCCU (not hysterectomized, not followed for a pre-cancerous or cancerous lesion of the cervix); Having declared the investigating general practitioner as a treating physician (MT) and whose MT practices in the territory of a CPTS in the UPEC area; Affiliate to a social security scheme or beneficiary of such a scheme.
Exclusion: Patient excluded from organized screening (cervical cancer, hysterectomy); Patient already included in a study on DOCCU; Patient's opposition to participating in the study.
