| Sumario: | The article focuses on cervical cancer screening rates and disparities among participants in the National Institutes of Health All of Us Research Program, utilizing electronic health records (EHR) and survey data. Despite improvements in cervical cancer outcomes since the 1950s, significant disparities persist based on race, geography, and socioeconomic status, largely due to differences in screening rates. The study found that only 15.2% of eligible participants had any cervical cancer screening records, with 68.7% of those being up to date. Key factors influencing screening records included age, racial identity, and geographic region, while other demographic factors showed no significant disparities. The findings highlight the challenges of EHR data completeness and the non-representative nature of the All of Us population, which may affect the generalizability of the results.
