We aimed to determine the changes in cervical cancer screening in the United States.Methods Pap smear rates were evaluated using the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS). SEER*Stat 8.3.8 and Joinpoint regression program 4.8.0.1 were used to calculate incidence trends.Results In 2016, 6.28% women in the U.S were never screened for cervical cancer. Based on race, 21.3% of Asian, 11.63% Hispanic, 8.09% Black and 5.1% of White women have never undergone screening. The age groups with higher never screened rates were the 80 and older age cohort at 11.14% followed by the 25–29 group at 8.87%. Over the last 6 years of our study, there has been an increase of 7.4% annually of never screened rates (p=0.008). In regards to age, there has been an increase in never pap was the 25–29 age group (AAPC +7.31%, p<0.001). White and Black women have increasing never pap smear rates at 1.49% (p=0.008) and 4.05% (p<0.001), respectively, while Hispanic women have no change. The intersectionality of age and race shows that Black women ages 25–29 have the highest increased rate of no screening, 9.84% annually (p<0.001).Conclusions Based on this large survey, nearly one fourth of Asian women were never screened for cervical cancer in the U.S. There is also an increasing proportion of never-screened particularly in younger Black women. Further research is warranted to understand the change in screening practices in relation to vaccination and access to care. ER -
