Abstract
The present study investigates the influence of workforce participation on women’s cancer screening behaviors in Turkey (N=483). As expected, homemakers were less likely than working/retired women to be up-to-date on screenings. Workforce participation had a positive effect on screening among all groups including those with lower income and education.
