Abstract
The current study examines whether the extent of macrolevel gender inequality affects the association between women’s educational attainment and their participation in cervical and breast cancer screening and how this relationship is moderated by a country’s cancer screening strategy (organized vs. opportunistic). A multilevel design with women (Ncervical = 99,794; Nbreast = 55,021) nested in 30 European countries was used to analyze data from the European Health Interview Survey (2013–2015). Results of multilevel logistic regression models demonstrate that higher macrolevel gender inequality is associated with (a) a lower overall likelihood that women have had a mammography and Pap smear and (b) a larger gap in participation between women with low and high levels of education, regardless of a country’s screening strategy (i.e., no moderation by a country’s screening strategy was found). We conclude that macrolevel gender stratification should not be neglected when designing cancer screening policy.
