Book Description
Abstract: This study examined the cultural and linguistic differences in breast cancer screening behaviors among the aging Hispanic/Latino female population. This study was conducted using data relating to breast cancer screening behaviors among women in the 2009 California Health Interview Survey: Older Adult Survey. Results revealed that age and visiting a doctor within the past 12 months had significant associations with mammography utilization amongst Latina women. This study further found that there were significant relationships between income, country of birth, language spoken at home, usual source of care, and having a doctor examine breasts for breast cancer.

Screening Mammography and Older Hispanic Women

Languages : en
Pages : 6
Book Description
Little is known about the screening behavior of older minority women, especially Hispanic women. Data from Los Angeles were compared to national data to examine any similarities and unique problems. In 1990, 726 women from Los Angeles older than 65 years of age were surveyed by telephone after being identified through a probability sample or through Medicare listings. Mammography experience and knowledge and attitudes about screening were collected. Differences in mammography experience by racial/ethnic group were computed using the chi-square test. Hispanic women were not underscreened significantly compared with older white and black women. Approximately three quarters of Hispanics had had a mammogram in the previous 2 years, compared with 84% of blacks and 82% of whites. Income and education levels were more explanatory of underscreening than was race. For example, 50% of whites with incomes of less than $15,000 had been screened in the previous 2 years, compared with 71% of those with higher incomes. Hispanics, however, reported significantly more concerns about screening and getting breast cancer than did whites or blacks despite the Hispanics' lower incidence and mortality rates. Hispanics also reported more health insurance inadaquacies and a poorer quality of life that may interfere with maintenance of screening behaviors. To maintain equal screening across racial/ethnic groups, national programs should focus on strategies that help Hispanics acculturate to achieve equal educational and other benefits. To decrease screening inequities within races and help realize the National Cancer Institute's Year 2000 goals, income and educational differences will need to be less pronounced.

Breast and Cervical Cancer Screening Patterns Among Rural Hispanic and American Indian Women in Arizona

Pages : 0
Book Description
Breast and cervical cancer disparities among Hispanic and American Indian women are a significant public health problem. Breast cancer is the most common neoplasm among Hispanic women. Cervical cancer has a higher incidence and mortality among Hispanic women compared to non-Hispanic White women. Breast cancer detection often comes late for American Indian women and breast cancer survival for this population is relatively poor. Hispanic and American Indian women who reside in rural areas of Arizona are especially at-risk of non-participation in breast and cervical cancer screening programs. This dissertation utilized data from two sources: a health-education intervention trial designed to increase mammography screening among women living in a rural area along the U.S.-Mexico border of Arizona and survey data from multiple years of the Arizona Behavioral Risk Factor Survey (BRFS) focusing on breast and cervical cancer screening self-reported behaviors. The purpose of the dissertation research was to identify factors associated with cancer screening behaviors among Hispanic and American Indian women that reside in rural Arizona settings. Hispanic women who participated in the 'promotora'-based educational intervention program were more likely to report receiving a mammogram at the followup compared to women who did not participate in the program. Results from both the baseline community survey and the BRFS showed that Hispanic women who received prior recommendations from a clinician to get both mammography and Pap smear were more likely to report they received a mammogram within the past year and a Pap smear within the past three years. Rural Hispanic and American Indian women reported lower rates of ever having had breast and cervical cancer screening compared to their urban counterparts. Breast and cervical cancer screening use in these populations can potentially be increased with at least two strategies. First, clinician recommendation of both mammograms and Pap smears and opportunistic screening during regular clinic visits may increase breast and cervical cancer screening coverage. Secondly, culturally-appropriate interventions that utilize 'promotoras' or lay health advisors could increase screening rates. In conclusion, Hispanic and American Indian women that reside in rural areas of Arizona, whether throughout the State or along the U.S.-Mexico border, are two underserved populations in Arizona with low rates of breast and cervical cancer screening that need to be addressed in order to reduce the burden of cancer in these populations.
