Participants were US adults served by FQHCs who were CCS eligible nested within the estimated 85\u202f364\u202f685 CCS-eligible individuals in the US population. Analyses were conducted between September 2024 and July 2025.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Exposures<\/jats:title>\n Receipt of CCS at an FQHC.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Main Outcomes and Measures<\/jats:title>\n Percentage of CCS-eligible individuals who were up to date on CCS.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results<\/jats:title>\n In 2023, a total of 7\u202f757\u202f211 CCS-eligible individuals were served by FQHCs, representing 9.1% (95% uncertainty interval [UI], 9.0%-9.2%) of the estimated 85\u202f364\u202f685 individuals in the CCS-eligible population. FQHCs served 35.9% (95% UI, 32.9%-39.6%) of the underscreened publicly insured population, 26.3% (95% UI, 23.1%-30.1%) of the underscreened rural population, 22.4% (95% UI, 20.9%-24.0%) of the underscreened population living at or below 200% of the poverty level, 19.5% (95% UI, 17.9%-21.4%) of the underscreened uninsured population, and 17.7% (95% UI, 16.7%-18.9%) of the underscreened racial or ethnic minority population. By region, FQHCs served 16.5% (95% UI, 14.6%-18.7%) of the underscreened population in the Northeast, 14.1% (95% UI, 12.7%-15.9%) in the Midwest, 13.5% (95% UI, 12.5%-14.7%) in the South, and 19.1% (95% UI, 17.3%-21.1%) in the West. Increasing CCS in FQHCs from the current estimate of 55.1% to the Healthy People 2030 goal of 79.2% would screen an additional 1\u202f872\u202f367 people and increase CCS among the aforementioned subgroups and regions by 2 to 6 percentage points.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusions and Relevance<\/jats:title>\n This cross-sectional study found that FQHCs served a large number of underscreened individuals from traditionally underscreened subgroups. These results suggest that improving CCS in FQHCs would result in a substantial increase in national CCS rates.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1001\/jamanetworkopen.2025.38593","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,10,22]],"date-time":"2025-10-22T15:31:19Z","timestamp":1761147079000},"page":"e2538593","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["National Outcomes of Increasing Cervical Cancer Screening in Federally Qualified Health Centers"],"prefix":"10.1001","volume":"8","author":[{"given":"Trisha L.","family":"Amboree","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Public Health Science, Medical University of South Carolina, Charleston"},{"name":"Hollings Cancer Center, Medical University of South Carolina, Charleston"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Prajakta","family":"Adsul","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Internal Medicine, School of Medicine, University of New Mexico, Albuquerque"},{"name":"Cancer Control and Population Sciences Research Program, University of New Mexico Comprehensive Cancer Center, Albuquerque"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Haluk","family":"Damgacioglu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Public Health Science, Medical University of South Carolina, Charleston"},{"name":"Hollings Cancer Center, Medical University of South Carolina, Charleston"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kathleen M.","family":"Schmeler","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Gynecologic Oncology and Reproductive Medicine, The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, Houston"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Elizabeth Y.","family":"Chiao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departments of Epidemiology and Medical Oncology, The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, Houston"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Roxana","family":"Cruz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Texas Association of Community Health Centers, Austin"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kalyani","family":"Sonawane","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Public Health Science, Medical University of South Carolina, Charleston"},{"name":"Hollings Cancer Center, Medical University of South Carolina, Charleston"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ashish A.","family":"Deshmukh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Public Health Science, Medical University of South Carolina, Charleston"},{"name":"Hollings Cancer Center, Medical University of South Carolina, Charleston"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jane R.","family":"Montealegre","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Behavioral Science, The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, Houston"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"10","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,10,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"zoi251069r1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/COC.0000000000000264","author":"Yang","year":"2018","journal-title":"Am J Clin Oncol"},{"key":"zoi251069r2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S2468-2667(20)30006-2","author":"Burger","year":"2020","journal-title":"Lancet Public Health"},{"key":"zoi251069r3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/jnci\/djae319","author":"Burger","year":"2025","journal-title":"J Natl Cancer Inst"},{"issue":"9","key":"zoi251069r4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1549","DOI":"10.1002\/ijc.34860","article-title":"Recent trends in cervical cancer incidence, stage at diagnosis, and mortality according to county-level income in the United States, 2000-2019.","volume":"154","author":"Amboree","year":"2024","journal-title":"Int J Cancer"},{"key":"zoi251069r5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/jamanetworkopen.2023.38333","author":"Damgacioglu","year":"2023","journal-title":"JAMA Netw Open"},{"key":"zoi251069r6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/jamanetworkopen.2021.43582","author":"Suk","year":"2022","journal-title":"JAMA Netw Open"},{"issue":"44","key":"zoi251069r7","first-page":"1004","article-title":"Vital signs: cervical cancer incidence, mortality, and screening -
