Download or read book Correlates of Mammography Screening Adherence Among Churchgoing, Mexican-born Latinas written by and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 55 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Latinas are often diagnosed with breast cancer at an advanced and non-localized stage therefore, they are more likely to die from this disease than non-Hispanic white women. The underutilization of mammography screening in the Latino community may explain this disparity. With the growing Latino population in the US, it is imperative to address the issues preventing Latinas from adhering to screening mammography. Correlates of breast cancer screening adherence play a vital role in predisposing, enabling, and presenting a need for the utilization of mammograms as a routine health service. However, research is warranted on examining Mexican-born Latinas, living in the United States, who uniquely experience disproportionate rates of mammography and who are at a disadvantaged position as it pertains to the utilization of health care. As a result, this study will examine the relationship between predisposing (age, knowledge, acculturation, perceived barriers, religiosity), enabling (monthly household income, educational attainment, marital status, employment status), need for care factors (use of other cancer screenings [Clinical Breast Exams (CBE), Cervical Cancer (CC) screening]) and mammography adherence among Mexican-born Latinas residing in San Diego County. Guided by the Behavioral Model for Health Services Use, the intent of this study is to inform culturally tailored, early breast cancer detection efforts for this unique group of Latinas. Baseline data from Fe en Acción (Faith in Action) was the basis for this project. A total of 436 participants were recruited from participating churches to partake in the larger study. Study inclusion for the sub-study consisted of participants being at least 40 years of age or older and reporting Mexico as their country of nativity (n=274). Logistic regression models were used to examine the association between predisposing, enabling, need for care factors, and mammography screening adherence. Findings suggest that older age, current employment, and adherence to CBE guidelines predispose, enable, and present a need for the utilization of screening mammography, respectively. Public health efforts should focus on encouraging providers to continue providing tailored recommendations based on individualized cancer risk, coordinating early cancer detection programs for unemployed women, and informing providers of the important linkage between CBEs and screening mammography.

Download or read book A Trial to Increase Mammography Utilization Among Los Angeles Hispanic Women written by Sarah A. Fox and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 13 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The objective of this program was to increase mammography screening rates among Hispanic women through a series of targeted community-wide interventions. A diverse array of outreach efforts was offered by the program to increase awareness and use of screening mammography. Before the program, 12 percent of the Hispanic women surveyed in the intervention community had been screened, compared with 27 percent after the program. There was no change in screening among Hispanic women in the control community (23 percent before and 24 percent after the program). The program demonstrated that the awareness and behavior of "hard-to-reach" underscreened Hispanic women can be changed through intensive targeted outreach and that a church-based cancer control program can play an effective role in the process. This finding has national health policy implications.

Download or read book Breast and Cervical Cancer Screening Patterns Among Rural Hispanic and American Indian Women in Arizona written by Thomas Nuño and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We know more about cancer prevention, detection, and treatment than ever beforeâ€"yet not all segments of the U.S. population have benefited to the fullest extent possible from these advances. Some ethnic minorities experience more cancer than the majority population, and poor peopleâ€"no matter what their ethnicityâ€"often lack access to adequate cancer care. This book provides an authoritative view of cancer as it is experienced by ethnic minorities and the medically underserved. It offers conclusions and recommendations in these areas: Defining and understanding special populations, and improving the collection of cancer-related data. Setting appropriate priorities for and increasing the effectiveness of specific National Institutes of Health (NIH) research programs, to ensure that special populations are represented in clinical trials. Disseminating research results to health professionals serving these populations, with sensitivity to the issues of cancer survivorship. The book provides background data on the nation's struggle against cancer, activities and expenditures of the NIH, and other relevant topics.

Download or read book Exploring Risk Factors for Non-adherence to Screening Mammography Among Women Living with Human Immunodeficiency Syndrome (HIV) written by Janna Gordon and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 117 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Women living with HIV (WLWH) in the U.S. are more than twice as likely to die of breast cancer compared to women without HIV. Although WLWH are less likely to obtain mammography than women without HIV, research examining risk factors for non-adherence to screening among WLWH is limited, particularly among those aged 50-74 years for whom biennial screening is currently recommended. This project examined risk factors for non-adherence to screening mammography among WLWH aged 50-74 receiving primary care at UC San Diego and UC San Francisco between 2016 and 2018. This study used electronic medical record data to compare rates of adherence to mammography guidelines between WLWH and the general population of women in California (Aim 1). Logistic regression analyses were conducted to evaluate individual (i.e., age, race/ethnicity, medical and psychiatric co-morbidities, smoking status, HIV-related medical characteristics), interpersonal (i.e., marital status, PCP department, PCP relationship length, number of office visits), and organizational (i.e., insurance, healthcare site) factors associated with non-adherence to recommended mammography screening among WLWH (Aims 2, 3, 4). Multiple logistic regression was used to identify the unique contribution of variables identified in Aims 2, 3, and 4 in predicting non-adherence to screening mammography and to determine the influence of individual, interpersonal, and organizational variable(s) on model fit (Aim 5). WLWH (N = 293, mean age = 57.4, 36.2% non-Hispanic White) were significantly less likely to obtain mammography screening than the general population. WLWH at greatest risk for non-adherence to mammography screening included those with mental health or substance use diagnoses, Hispanic women, and women who engaged in fewer office visits. In adjusted analyses, WLWH with a mental health diagnosis were more than twice as likely to be non-adherent with screening recommendations than their peers, and Hispanic women were twice as likely to be non-adherent than non-Hispanic White women. The inclusion of interpersonal, but not organizational, variables significantly improved model fit. Evidence-based interventions are needed to increase adherence to mammography screening among WLWH. Such interventions have the potential to increase the uptake of timely breast cancer screening and decrease breast-cancer related morbidity and mortality among this medically vulnerable population.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access book gives an overview of the sessions, panel discussions, and outcomes of the Advancing the Science of Cancer in Latinos conference, held in February 2018 in San Antonio, Texas, USA, and hosted by the Mays Cancer Center and the Institute for Health Promotion Research at UT Health San Antonio. Latinos – the largest, youngest, and fastest-growing minority group in the United States – are expected to face a 142% rise in cancer cases in coming years. Although there has been substantial advancement in cancer prevention, screening, diagnosis, and treatment over the past few decades, addressing Latino cancer health disparities has not nearly kept pace with progress. The diverse and dynamic group of speakers and panelists brought together at the Advancing the Science of Cancer in Latinos conference provided in-depth insights as well as progress and actionable goals for Latino-focused basic science research, clinical best practices, community interventions, and what can be done by way of prevention, screening, diagnosis, and treatment of cancer in Latinos. These insights have been translated into the chapters included in this compendium; the chapters summarize the presentations and include current knowledge in the specific topic areas, identified gaps, and top priority areas for future cancer research in Latinos. Topics included among the chapters: Colorectal cancer disparities in Latinos: Genes vs. Environment Breast cancer risk and mortality in women of Latin American origin Differential cancer risk in Latinos: The role of diet Overcoming barriers for Latinos on cancer clinical trials Es tiempo: Engaging Latinas in cervical cancer research Emerging policies in U.S. health care Advancing the Science of Cancer in Latinos proves to be an indispensable resource offering key insights into actionable targets for basic science research, suggestions for clinical best practices and community interventions, and novel strategies and advocacy opportunities to reduce health disparities in Latino communities. It will find an engaged audience among researchers, academics, physicians and other healthcare professionals, patient advocates, students, and others with an interest in the broad field of Latino cancer.

This book was released on 2006-02-23 with total page 502 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hispanics and the Future of America presents details of the complex story of a population that varies in many dimensions, including national origin, immigration status, and generation. The papers in this volume draw on a wide variety of data sources to describe the contours of this population, from the perspectives of history, demography, geography, education, family, employment, economic well-being, health, and political engagement. They provide a rich source of information for researchers, policy makers, and others who want to better understand the fast-growing and diverse population that we call "Hispanic." The current period is a critical one for getting a better understanding of how Hispanics are being shaped by the U.S. experience. This will, in turn, affect the United States and the contours of the Hispanic future remain uncertain. The uncertainties include such issues as whether Hispanics, especially immigrants, improve their educational attainment and fluency in English and thereby improve their economic position; whether growing numbers of foreign-born Hispanics become citizens and achieve empowerment at the ballot box and through elected office; whether impending health problems are successfully averted; and whether Hispanics' geographic dispersal accelerates their spatial and social integration. The papers in this volume provide invaluable information to explore these issues.
