Key Points Question Are women who experience imprisonment less likely to be up-to-date on cervical cancer screening than women in the general population? Findings In this population-based cohort study, 53.9% of the 4553 women in the prison group were overdue for cervical cancer screening compared with 32.9% of the 3 647 936 women in the general population, which was a significant difference. Meaning Efforts should be made to improve access to cervical cancer screening for women who experience imprisonment.
