Women, age 30-60. Between December 2006 to December 2007. North Holland and Flevoland. Nonresponder = Women who had not responded to two invitations from the regular screening programme. Age Screening history Self-sampling group 26.6% vs. 16.4% of the control group. Self-sampling responders who did not participate in the previous rounds of screening had an increased relative risk of ≥CIN II and ≥CIN III compared to self-sampling women who had been screened in the previous rounds. Self-sampling is a feasible and effective method for increasing coverage in a screening programme. Especially because of the higher risk in non-attenders. Predisposing factors Information factors 2
