Popis: Previous reviews of strategies to increase cervical cancer screening are more than 10 years old, the U.S. continues to fall short of the Healthy People 2030 cervical cancer screening goal, and guidelines were revised in 2018, therefore an updated review of the existing literature is needed. We conducted a scoping review using electronic databases PubMed, Scopus, and Ovid Medline that included publication dates between 2012 and 2021 to answer the question, “Which strategies implemented in U.S. primary care settings have been most successful in increasing rates of cervical cancer screening since the 2012 US Preventative Services Task Force cervical cancer screening guidelines were published?” We mapped findings to pre-specified implementation strategy categories. After initially identifying 399 articles, we excluded 350 due to duplicates or not meeting review criteria, leaving 49 articles for full review. We excluded 37 of these during full-text review and identified 2 additional articles from the manual search of reference lists for a total of 14 studies for abstraction. Eleven articles reported on strategies resulting in increased cervical cancer screening, and 3 did not. Clinic workflow re-design strategies showed the greatest promise in improving cervical cancer screening rates, education strategies for patients had mixed results, and quality management strategies were not effective. These findings suggest clinical workflow re-structures and patient education strategies can increase cervical cancer screening in primary care settings. Results are particularly important in settings that care for underserved populations, as these settings may need additional implementation strategies to decrease cervical cancer screening disparities.
