In 2004, Lithuania started the Nationwide Cervical Cancer Screening Programme. The aim of the study was to estimate the trend in the uptake of cervical cancer (CC) screening in Lithuania during 2006-2014 and to identify sociodemographic and lifestyle factors associated with non-attendance for screening. ⋯ Established social and behavioural determinants of non-attendance for CC screening should be used for optimising CC prevention in Lithuania. The implementation of organised screening programme using innovative screening methods might increase attendance and reduce inequalities.
