An excellent article and audio. In Australia, we all (women) have Pap Smears every 2 years to the age of 70. Yes it’s an inconvenience, and no-one looks forward to doing it, but the stats show how many lives are saved with simple test done by our local doctor. We do it because we know it’s in our best interests. Self interest is one of the major motivators for behavior.
Personally, I appreciate that this is offered as routine – our GPs never allow us to forget when the next one is due via mail (letter) – no excuses!
