Abstract

Women in a residential drug-rehabilitation program had lower rates of cervical screening attendance and higher rates of detected abnormalities than women attending a local Well Women’s Clinic. As a result of this study we plan to include a more comprehensive sexual health history into routine women’s health consultations.
