9.3.3.2 Deprivation
Mean age of practice patients
Deprivation is likely to influence whether or not women attend breast and/or cervical
cancer screening appointments. The deprivation scores at practice level have been
illustrated in Table 49, and Figure 179 and Figure 180 show the practice deprivation
scores relative to breast and cervical cancer screening rates respectively. The
underlying data are given in Table 49, and in the APPENDIX on page 897 (breast
cancer screening data) and on page 899 (cervical cancer screening data). Note that the
figures give the mean deprivation score of all practice patients (i.e. all men and women
registered with the practice) rather than the mean deprivation score of the patients
eligible for screening. It can be seen that there is a relationship between practice
deprivation scores and screening rates, and that the relationship is stronger for breast
cancer screening then for cervical cancer screening. Practices with higher deprivation
scores (more deprived practices) tend to have lower screening rates than less deprived
practices.
