In a large rural Guatemalan retrospective cohort, a care continuum analysis showed that both declining the opportunity to receive cervical cancer screening as well as declining confirmatory testing after a first positive screen were both important weak points along the care continuum. These data support the need for comprehensive and culturally appropriate initiatives to improve screening uptake and retention in care.
