“…Characteristics of the included studies are described in Table 1 . Twenty-seven publications were identified for inclusion in the review, including 26 primary studies [ 21 – 46 ] and one secondary analysis of the original study data looking at cervical cancer prevention behaviours of the studied population [ 47 ]. The results of the secondary analysis are reported together with the primary study as most study characteristics were the same.…”

“…The remining 19 were clinic-based. 7 studies included exclusively women from underserved populations (Latinas, low income, Maori and Criminal-legal involved) [ 22 , 23 , 26 , 32 , 33 , 40 , 42 , 47 ] and 4 studies included only non-adherent women [ 23 , 29 , 33 , 45 ].…”

“…A detailed definition of inadequate follow-up for each study is presented in Table 2 . The majority (87.5%) of the included studies had a clear definition for inadequate follow up of an abnormal test result [ 21 – 29 , 33 – 45 , 47 ]. Of these, 70% defined it as a failure to attend the following appointment either with their clinician or for a follow up test [ 22 – 25 , 27 – 29 , 33 , 37 , 39 , 40 , 42 – 45 ] and the remaining 30% defined it as no evidence of further testing in the electronic medical record (EMR) [ 21 , 26 , 34 – 36 , 38 , 41 ].…”

“…The source of the definition for inadequate follow up varied. Local or national guidelines informed the definition in 58.3% of studies [ 21 – 24 , 26 , 29 , 33 – 36 , 38 , 41 , 43 , 47 ]. Seven of the included studies (30%) [ 25 , 28 , 37 , 39 , 42 , 45 , 47 ] used their own definition.…”

Background Cervical cancer is a preventable and treatable form of cancer yet continues to be the fourth most common cancer among women globally. Primary care is the first point of contact most patients have with health services and is where most cancer prevention and early detection occur. Inadequate follow-up of abnormal test results for cervical abnormalities in primary care can lead to suboptimal patient outcomes including higher mortality and decreased quality of life. Aims To explore the magnitude of and factors associated with, inadequate follow-up of test results for cervical abnormalities in primary and ambulatory care. Methods MEDLINE, Embase, Cochrane Library and CINAHL were searched for peer-reviewed literature from 2000–2022, excluding case-studies, grey literature, and systematic reviews. Studies were included if they reported on patients aged ≥ 18 years with no previous cancer diagnosis, in a primary care/ambulatory setting. Risk of bias was assessed using the Joanna Briggs Institute Critical appraisal checklists, appropriate to the study design. A segregated methodology was used to perform a narrative synthesis, maintaining the distinction between quantitative and qualitative research. Results We included 27 publications reporting on 26 studies in our review; all were conducted in high-income countries. They included 265,041 participants from a variety of ambulatory settings such as family medicine, primary care, women’s services, and colposcopy clinics. Rates of inadequate follow-up ranged from 4 to 75%. Studies reported 41 different factors associated with inadequate follow-up. Personal factors associated with inadequate follow-up included younger age, lower education, and socioeconomic status. Psychological factors were reported by only 3/26 studies and 2/3 found no significant association. System protective factors included the presence of a regular primary care provider and direct notification of abnormal test results. Discussion This review describes inadequate follow-up of abnormal cervical abnormalities in primary care. Prevalence varied and the evidence about causal factors is unclear. Most interventions evaluated were effective in decreasing inadequate follow-up. Examples of effective interventions were appointment reminders via telephone, direct notification of laboratory results, and HPV self-sampling. Even though rates of cervical cancer have decreased over the years, there is a lack of information on factors affecting follow-up in primary care and ambulatory settings, particularly in low and middle-income countries. This information is crucial if we are to achieve WHO’s interim targets by 2030, and hope to avert 62 million cervical cancer deaths by 2120. Trial registration PROSPERO ID CRD42021250136.

“…Individual and structural factors lead to elevated cancer risk factor exposures and suboptimal prevention opportunities. Higher rates of tobacco and alcohol use, human papillomavirus, hepatitis B and C, and HIV may contribute to elevated cancer incidence, more advanced disease at diagnosis, and elevated cancer-related morbidity and mortality ( 17 , 18 ). Prevention tools such as smoking cessation or human papillomavirus and hepatitis B vaccination and treatment for cancer risk factors may be less accessible ( 19 , 20 ), compounded by variable cancer literacy in people with histories of incarceration that limits screening uptake and follow-up ( 21 ).…”

The cancer disparities between people with incarceration histories compared to those who do not have those histories are vast. Opportunities for bolstering cancer equity among those impacted by mass incarceration exist in criminal legal system policy, carceral, community, and public health linkages, better cancer prevention, screening, and treatment services in carceral settings, expansion of health insurance, education of professionals, and use of carceral sites for health promotion and transition to community care. Clinicians, researchers, persons with a history of incarceration, carceral administrators, policymakers, and community advocates could play a cancer equity role in each of these areas. Raising awareness and setting a cancer equity plan of action is critical to reducing cancer disparities among those affected by mass incarceration.

Clinical trials conducted with incarcerated populations are rare. We present a case example of one such jail-based cancer prevention clinical trial to demonstrate the importance of including a theory-driven approach to intervention framing, novel experimental designs to boost access to low-risk trials, and retention strategies for long-term follow-up of hard-to-reach populations. As such we offer a social determinant of health framework to ensure cancer prevention research is conducted through the lenses of health promotion and health equity. Deviations from the gold-standard randomized control design, transparent systematic allotment, and street-based outreach retention strategies contribute to the feasibility of conducting clinical trials in carceral settings and after people leave jail. Best practices presented can be used in design and conduct of future clinical trials with criminal legal system-involved populations.
