Cervical cancer: screening hard-to-reach groups.

چکیده
MALGRÉ L’IMPORTANCE INDISCUTABLE du dépistage du cancer du col utérin, une proportion importante de Canadiennes ne passent pas, ou pas assez souvent, de tests de dépistage. Il est vraisemblable que certaines de ces femmes répondront à de simples stratégies de promotion du dépistage, mais ces stratégies pourraient se révéler inefficaces pour les groupes difficiles à joindre celles les femmes âgées, les autochtones, les pauvres et les immigrantes. Une meilleure connaissance des obstacles spécifiques au dépistage pour chacun des sous-groupes susmentionnés s’impose; la recherche qualitative peut dégager des connaissances précieuses à cet égard. Les prestateurs de soins primaires sont un élément clé de la réussite de toute intervention de dépistage, à l’intérieur ou non d’un programme formel de dépistage. Pour la population en général, il faudrait privilégier les programmes formels de dépistage; selon l’efficacité de ces programmes, on redirigera ensuite des ressources présentement affectées à une population abondamment servie vers les groupes difficiles à rejoindre.
