Hispanic women and cervical cancer. Harlan LC, Bernstein AB, Kessler LG.

Hispanic women and cervical cancer This study used the health belief model to examine which cues prompt Hispanic women to undergo cervical cancer screening and how perceptions could be potentiated by cues to cervical cancer screening. 2 breast cancer deaths per 2 Cancer Facts & Figures for Hispanics/Latinos 2018-2020 For example, Mexicans comprise more than 80% of the Hispanic population in both Texas and California, but . Hispanic women in the United States have an increased risk of cervical cancer (1,2) despite the existence of screening techniques that have longstanding, demonstrated effectiveness and a vaccine that protects against the primary cause of cervical cancer — infection with certain subtypes of human papillomavirus (HPV) (). H ispanic women in the United States have a lower incidence of breast cancer than non-Hispanic white women. Approximately 40% of American women are diagnosed with a nondermatological cancer during their lifetime,1 and breast cancer is second only to lung cancer as a cause of cancer-related mortality among women. sites. found that, among Californian women of high socioeconomic status, those who were foreign-born had lower cervical cancer mortality rates than those who were born in the United States . Hispanic women is nearly twice that of white women, and mortality is 42% higher in this population 6. OBJECTIVE Hispanic women who reside in low-resource settings are especially at risk for nonparticipation in cancer screening We describe the development of an interactive virtual patient educator for educating and counseling Hispanic women about cervical cancer and human papillomavirus. Several studies have explored factors affecting HPV prevention and cervical cancer screening among Hispanic women, but the experiences of Hispanic women who have had cervical cancer have rarely been studied. 10–14 In particular, Hispanic women have higher mortality rates nationally from invasive cervical cancer than non-Hispanic white women (2. Cervical cancer inci-dence among U. Hispanics is due, in part, to low Pap Cervical cancer is the most common human papillomavirus (HPV)-related malignancy with estimated 526,000 new cases and 239,000 deaths worldwide in 2015 1. The Health Belief Model (HBM) was used as a theoretical framework to explore beliefs, attitudes, socio-economic, and cultural factors influencing Hispanic women’s decisions about cervical cancer screening. 610 times more likely to have lived in the United States 5 or more years, 1. and Hawaii in 2021, for whom the most common causes of cancer death are lung cancer (13%), CRC (11%) and liver cancer (11%) among men, and breast cancer (14%), lung cancer (10%), and CRC (9%) among women. Why a cervical cancer screening education program for Latinas is needed. 80) when compared with White women and adjusting for confounders (Table 3). Zamorano University of Texas The disproportionate burden of cervical cancer among Hispanic women is thought to be attributable in part to both low rates of screening and poor adherence to recommended diagnostic follow-up after an abnormal Pap test. To better understand the barriers and facilitators for Pap test screening, we conducted 13 focus Introduction. @article{Watts2009UnderstandingBT, title={Understanding barriers to cervical cancer screening among Hispanic women. Data were collected from a rand Papanicolaou (Pap) test screening decreases both incidence and mortality of cervical cancer [2], yet 25% of Hispanic women are non-adherent to screening guidelines [3]. When compared to non-Hispanic white women, Hispanic/Latino women residing in the United States have twice the incidence rate of an Surveying an intersectional marginalized population (Hispanic women, especially Hispanic migrant women with cervical cancer) can be more difficult due to a relative lack of published guidelines on how to conduct methodologically and ethically sound research with them (Castañeda & Smith, 2023). Even among Hispanic women, there are more pronounced cervical cancer disparities in certain Objectives. 1, 2 Incidence rates of cervical squamous cell carcinoma were highest in Black and Hispanic women, while incidence rates of cervical adenocarcinoma (ADC) were highest among Hispanic and White women, particularly for Recent data demonstrate that Hispanic/Latina girls have one of the highest rates of vaccination uptake than girls of other races/ethnicities (with Asian race/ethnicity superseding them). Human papillomavirus is almost always the cause of cervical cancer. 5% of age-eligible women were screened for CC Hispanic women’s cervical cancer rates are disproportionately high. 0 in the non-Hispanic white population. Setting: Interviews were conducted in participants' homes. Ge, Danielle Wilson, Rosa A. Despite these advances, however, certain segments of the population, including Hispanic women, continue to be at increased risk. Analysis was restricted to 2239 Hispanic women age 40 and older who were self-identified as either Central American (n = 174), Cuban (n = 279), Mexican American (n = 1550), or Puerto Rican A multilevel, multiple component culturally tailored bilingual cervical cancer screening intervention combining education, navigation, and no-cost screening can significantly increase cervical cancer Screening uptake in a high-risk, underscreened population and has the potential to affect cervical cancer health disparities. US incidence rates of breast cancer and cervical cancer—2 cancer types specifically affecting females—have been decreasing in most population subgroups. When compared to non-Hispanic white women, Hispanic/Latino women residing in the United States have twice the incidence rate of and 1. Montealegre and colleagues found that, among women with late-stage cervical cancer, foreign-born Hispanic women had better survival than U. 73. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) and the 2012 version of the American Cancer Society (ACS) guidelines both recommended the use of Pap tests every three years for women ages 21–29, and a variation of acceptable alternative tests for those between Every year about 14,000 women are diagnosed with cervical cancer in the United States and more than 4,000 women die from it. This pattern was not observed for black and Hispanic women, though these women had higher incidence of regional and distant cervical cancer than white women overall. Cervical cancer used to be the leading cause of The U. A cross-sectional survey was conducted among Hispanic women 18–65 years old The risk of developing liver cancer is nearly double for Hispanic men and women compared to White men and women. , 2018). * *Relevance section written by JCO Associate Editor Gini F. Methods: Using a case comparison study design, data from a survey of Hispanic breast (n = 54) and cervical cancer (n = 58) survivors were analyzed by bivariate analysis. , 2014 , Fish et al. Results Hispanic women have the highest incidence rate of cervical cancer, followed by non-Hispanic Black women, according to the American Cancer Society. More recent data suggest that these disparities are increasing7. Hispanic women is nearly twice that of white women, and mortality is 42% higher in this population6. 0 deaths per 1 00 000 women, respectively). 6,7 At the same time, recent data show annual rates of more than 250 000 new cases of invasive breast cancer with 40 000 deaths 6 and more than 12 000 new cases of cervical cancer with 4000 Hispanic women have almost double the cervical cancer incidence and are twice as likely to die from cervical cancer compared with non-Hispanic White women. Data from the National Health Interview Survey show that 74. This report summarizes statistics on cancer Hispanic, women, cervical cancer, HPV, health, US-Mexico border Cervical cancer continues to be the fourth most common type of female cancer, with around 600,000 new diag-noses and 340,000 fatalities annually (Burmeister et al. However, the investigators took measures to attain goals of Cancer among women is a major public health problem in the United States. Cervical cancer continues to be a leading Introduction. Minority populations and people of low socioeconomic status are affected disproportionately by cervical cancer. Gilma, now 47, became one of the more than 16,000 women diagnosed with cervical cancer in the United States on average yearly between 2014 to 2018, according to the CDC. Community-based interventions to improve breast and cervical cancer screening: results of the Forsyth County Cancer Screening (FoCaS) Project. Hispanic women are 40 percent more likely to be diagnosed with cervical cancer — and 30 percent more likely The current cervical cancer screening guidelines recommend cervical cytology or Pap screening alone every 3 years in women aged 21 to 29 years and either a Pap smear alone every 3 years, or high-risk human One of the most significant factors that determines survival is stage at diagnosis. 13,18,53–57 We developed the intervention by using principles Background: US Hispanic women have higher cervical cancer incidence rates than non-Hispanic White and African-American women and lower rates of cervical cancer screening. Methods A literature review was performed to summarize epidemiologic trends and barriers to care Policy makers should understand that among adult Hispanic women with access to a CHC, cervical cancer prevention services seemed to be equitable, although this observation needs further study in a wider sample of Cervical cancer remains a major burden for women around the world. Rates are for histologically confirmed cancers except for the ‘Unknown’ group and are standardized to the U. 06–1. This study examined beliefs, attitudes, and personal characteristics that correlated with self-reported cervical cancer screening history among Hispanic women aged 18 to 25 years old in El Paso, TX, a large metropolitan The incidence of cervical cancer in Hispanic women is 16 cases per 100,000, compared with 9 cases in white women. However, contemporary attitudes and/or patterns of interactions by which male partners and spouses influence a women’s decision to participate Purpose: This study examined breast and cervical cancer knowledge, attitudes, and screening behaviors among different Hispanic populations in the United States. 4 times the mortality from cervical cancer. has seen a continued increase in cervical cancer screening (CCS) with 80 % of eligible women currently adherent to cervical cancer guidelines (Institute, 2020, Promotion OoDPaH, 2021). 26; 95% CI = 1. Design: Qualitative, descriptive. Setting: Data were collected as part of the baseline Hispanic women have the highest incidence rate of cervical cancer, followed by non-Hispanic Black women, according to the American Cancer Society. A similar pattern was also observed for the multilevel logistic analysis for cervical cancer-specific mortality as well as all Hispanic women have considerably higher rates of cervical cancer incidence and mortality than non Hispanic women (incidence: 16. To better understand the barriers and facilitators for Pap test screening, we conducted 13 focus Hispanic women have almost double the cervical cancer incidence and are twice as likely to die from cervical cancer compared with non-Hispanic White women. Notably, incident rates of cervical cancer vary among different racial and ethnic groups 2, 3. 2009. Cervical cancer incidence among U. Adapted from AMIGAS (Ayudando a las Mujeres con Información, Guía, y Amor para su Salud—Helping Women with Purpose. 9 to 19. 7 times as prevalent in Hispanic women than in NHW women , or to differences in the risk of gallbladder disease, which is higher among Hispanic women than among NHW Objectives. Generalized linear modeling was used. The sample includes De Casa en Casa is a bilingual multi-component intervention to promote cervical cancer screening. 59–0. We tested the effectiveness of a lay health worker intervention to increase breast and cervical cancer screening among low-income Hispanic women. Then, we calculated hysterectomy-corrected age Cervical cancer screening guidelines have changed considerably in the last decade. Expand Hispanic women suffer the highest cervical cancer incidence rates in the United States. , 2004). "Race is a social construct. Materials and methods: An anonymous cross-sectional survey was administered to self-identifying Hispanic women older than 21 years at community-based clinics and health care-focused community Cite this article as: Watts L, Joseph N, Velazquez A, et al. However, the investigators took measures to attain goals of Abstract. Fleming, MD. 13 Compared to non-Hispanic whites, Hispanic women have a 40% higher rate of cervical cancer diagnosis and are 26% more likely to die from the disease. Herbst-Kralovetz said her team has been working on the vaginal microbiome and its influence in HPV progression to cancer for about 14 years. In this study, we conducted community-based focus groups with Hispanic women to explore knowledge and attitudes relating to cervical cancer, HPV, HPV testing, and HPV vaccination. The American Cancer Society (ACS, 2023) estimates that 13,960 people in the US alone will be In response to an open-ended question about what they had heard about cervical cancer, many women knew that the cancer started in the genital area, and five (13 %) women mentioned the HPV vaccine or the Pap test as prevention methods. Harlan LC, Bernstein AB, Kessler LG. To better understand the barriers and facilitators for Pap test screening, we conducted 13 focus groups with 84 Hispanic women aged 18-61 years. The Introduction: Hispanic women in the United States have an elevated risk of cervical cancer, but the existing literature does not reveal why this disparity persists. Cervical cancer is largely preventable if detected early. And Black women are more likely to die from the disease than However, the effect of rurality varied by race/ethnicity. 5), although, when confined to women younger Cervical cancer is preventable and treatable, yet few older Hispanic women seek screening and continue to be a high-risk group for cervical cancer. 2 versus 7. 1,2 Between 1999 and 2003, the average annual age-adjusted incidence of breast cancer for Hispanic women was 92. 15 A recent national study using the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and The number of women at risk for cervical cancer in each year, age group, Trends in cervical cancer incidence rates (1999–2015) among non-Hispanic white women by age and histology after accounting for hysterectomy, United States. In the United States, Hispanic women and Latinas are less likely Background The purpose of this study is to describe the prevalence of Papanicolaou (Pap) smear use for cervical cancer screening and to estimate its association with type of health care insurance. 6 In addition, more than 60% of cases occur in areas of underserved, under-screened populations Nearly 90% of women who die from cervical cancer have poor access to prevention, screening, and treatment. 6% of Hispanic women had a Pap test in the past three years compared to Request PDF | Breast and Cervical Cancer Screening Utilization Among Hispanic Women Living Near the United States-Mexico Border | Hispanic women who reside in low-resource settings are especially Purpose: In the United States, Hispanics are more likely to be diagnosed with cervical cancer compared to Non-Hispanic Whites. , 2018 , American Cancer Cervical cancer represents one of the starkest health disparities facing U. 3 Even in the United States, there are racial Hispanic women have almost double the cervical cancer incidence and are twice as likely to die from cervical cancer compared with non-Hispanic White women. only 15% in Florida, where more than half of the Hispanic population identifies as Cuban or Puerto Rican. Caused by exposure to HPV (human papilloma virus), cervical cancer incidence rates are: Hispanic women: 10 cases for every 100,000 people; White women: 7 cases for every 100,000 people; That’s a 36% higher The current cervical cancer screening guidelines recommend cervical cytology or Pap screening alone every 3 years in women aged 21 to 29 years and either a Pap smear alone every 3 years, or high-risk human papillomavirus test every 5 years, or co-testing every 5 years for women aged 30 to 65 years (Curry et al. Breast cancer is also the leading cause of Age: Most cervical cancer cases happen in women between 35 and 44 years old, but it can occur at any age. Cervical cancer screening: Who is not screened and why? Am J Public Health 1991;81(7):885–91. ” The AMIGAS program is a bilingual, educational outreach intervention designed to help community health workers, or promotoras, increase cervical cancer screening among Hispanic women and Additionally, Hispanic women have higher rates of cervical cancer than non-Hispanic white women. Cervical cancer, a preventable cancer, has disproportionately affected African American women. • Latinas experience higher rates of HPV • Latinas have rates 32% higher than Non -Hispanic Whites • Latinas have twice the death rate from cervical cancer • In the U. These focus groups were part of a larger study aimed at Cancer Facts & Figures for Hispanic/Latino People 2024-2026 is an educational report that provides statistics about the occurrence of cancer in Hispanic/Latino people in the United States and includes data about cancer prevention, risk The American Cancer Society (2016) has stated that there are approximately 10,000 new cases of cervical cancer and 3,700 deaths in the United States each year. However, Molokwu Cervical cancer death rates in the U. These include: 1) the value of using systematic planning to develop or adapt programs; 2) the advantages of using community-based participatory research (CBPR) The statistics relating to Hispanic women and cervical cancer could hardly be more clear or more alarming. Results: Participants accessed the health care system primarily during times of illness or in association with impending marriage, The number of women at risk for cervical cancer in each year, age group, and race/ethnicity was estimated based on the proportion of women with hysterectomy (P hyst) and number of women in the general population (N pop) in the corresponding stratum: N at-risk = N pop − (P hyst × N pop). 3 Hispanic/Latinx patients with cervical cancer are more likely to present with advanced‐stage cervical cancer compared to NHW individuals, 4, 5, 6 and Hispanic/Latinx populations have experienced an increase in the proportion of cervical cancers diagnosed with distant disease. are large, with Black women 30% more likely to develop and 60% more likely to die from cervical cancer than non-Hispanic White women. Am J Obstet Gynecol 2009;201:199. However, the investigators took measures to attain goals of The high incidence rates of cervical cancer in Black and Hispanic women older than 65 years should prompt further research regarding the safety of screening cessation recommendations. The This study examined the breast and cervical cancer screening practices of Hispanic and non-Hispanic women (n = 3,568) in counties that approximate the US southern border region. Previous work has shown limited knowledge and awareness about cervical cancer and screening, low health literacy, DOI: 10. 712 times less likely to need a translator during their To examine the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on cervical cancer screening rates of Hispanic individuals compared to non-Hispanic White (NHW) individuals in the United States, whether a responsive surge in catch-up screenings occurred as society adapted to pandemic changes, and to investigate the sociodemographic characteristics between the An estimated 34,800 cancers in the United States were caused by HPV between 2012 and 2016. Breast and cervical cancer are curable in the majority of women, especially when it is caught early [8]. As a population with disproportionately low rates of health insurance coverage compared to other racial or ethnic groups, Hispanics face a number of barriers to accessing preventive cervical cancer Cervical cancer represents one of the starkest health disparities facing U. @article{Austin2002BreastAC, title={Breast and cervical cancer screening in Hispanic women: a literature review using the health belief model. However, among women aged >30 years, cervical cancer incidence for Hispanic women was approximately twice that for non- Hispanic women. Paskett ED, Tatum CM, D’Agostino R, et al. 3 Despite a lower incidence of disease, age-adjusted 5-year Additional research is needed to explore the financial implications and variation in experience among different racial/ethnic and socioeconomic groups. The pilot study Even though Pap test screening is recommended for younger women, we chose to include only women 50 years and older because evidence suggests that rates of invasive cervical cancer are higher, rates of screening are lower, and barriers to screening differ among older Hispanic women than among younger women. The Health Belief Model (HBM) was used as a theoretical framework to explore beliefs, attitudes, socio-economic, and cultural Introduction. Cervical cancer is the most common human papillomavirus (HPV)-related malignancy with estimated 526,000 new cases and 239,000 deaths worldwide in 2015 1. Despite better survival after The lower screening rate among Hispanic women is detrimental to prevention and early diagnosis of cervical cancer, and this is reflected in Latinas’ higher incidence of and mortality from cervical cancer compared to Anglo women nationally (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2017) and in Los Angeles (Los Angeles County Department of Public Health, 2017). 5 per 100,000) (Ries et al. Alarming differences in incidence and mortality rates exist by race, ethnicity and geographical location. However, rates of cancer diagnosis and . cancer screening and access to treatment may lead to a higher cervical cancer mortality in Hispanics compared to non-Hispanic White women.

This paper will present the experiences of Hispanic women (N = 10) who survived cervical cancer, including barriers to care, services needed and Hispanic women's cervical cancer rates are disproportionately high. 2002 May-Jun;12(3):122-8. However, disparities still exist in certain types of cancer. 706 times more likely to speak a second language, and 1. , adherence) for women after abnormal CCS is alarmingly low and ranges from 20 to 70 % ( Katz et al. After the collection of baseline data, lay health This finding is likely applicable to many Hispanic farmworker populations throughout Midwestern United States as previous studies have similarly detected low levels of cancer knowledge in vulnerable populations. 1016/s1049 Bakemeier RF, Krebs LU, Murphy JR, et al.

The reasons for these inequities are complex, but they are deeply rooted in unequal access to Racial disparities in cervical cancer incidence and mortality across the U. screening is more important than ever. More recent data suggest that these disparities are increasing 7. Participants: Purposive sample of 20 Hispanic women 18 to 65 years of age. The Health Belief Model (HBM) was used as a theoretical framework to explore beliefs, attitudes, socioeconomic , and cultural factors influencing Hispanic women's Cancer screening rates have improved among some Hispanic women living in the United States in recent years; yet, certain subgroups of Hispanic women may be less likely to receive cervical cancer screening, including migrant and seasonal farmworker (MSFW) women living in the United States1,2 because of health care access issues and unfamiliarity with the US health care Surveying an intersectional marginalized population (Hispanic women, especially Hispanic migrant women with cervical cancer) can be more difficult due to a relative lack of published guidelines on how to conduct methodologically and ethically sound research with them (Castañeda & Smith, 2023). 7 per 100,000 compared to 7. }, author={Latoya Austin and Farah Ahmad and Surveying an intersectional marginalized population (Hispanic women, especially Hispanic migrant women with cervical cancer) can be more difficult due to a relative lack of published guidelines on how to conduct methodologically and ethically sound research with them (Castañeda & Smith, 2023).

Latinas have the highest incidence of cervical cancer. (American Cancer Society 2015), and the incidence rate is about 44% higher among Hispanic women compared to non-Hispanic white women (American Cancer Society 2015). Regular screenings can help catch it early. Cervical cancer is preventable with scree Introduction The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Division of Cancer Prevention of Control administer the National Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program (NBCCEDP), designed to increase early detection of cancers among low-income uninsured and underinsured women. Hispanic women's cervical cancer rates are disproportionately high. To lower the incidence of invasive cervical cancer, local health organizations should The aim of this study was to review published studies that examined factors influencing breast and cervical cancer screening behavior in Hispanic women, using the Health Belief Model (HBM). Women with 5 or more lifetime Papanicolaou smears were 1. Attitudes of colorado health professionals toward breast and cervical cancer screening in Hispanic women. e1-8. 1,2 Hispanic women have a 51% higher age-adjusted incidence of cervical cancer than non-Hispanic White women.

DOI: 10. , 2022; Cascardi et al. 69; 95% CI = 0. , 2022). Similarly, despite the fact that the HPV vaccine protects against high-risk HPV and has been available since 2006 [4], [5], only 33. 50), while Hispanic women were less likely to die of cervical cancer (HR: 0. Nationally, Hispanic women are screened less frequency than non-Hispanic whites, especially among women of Mexican origin. Guerra, Abigail S. Hispanic women are at especially high risk; compared to non-Hispanic White women, they are 40 % more likely to be diagnosed with cervical cancer and 30 % more likely to die from it (Cancer and Hispanic Americans, 2022). Understanding barriers to cervical cancer screening among Hispanic women. Regular Papanicolaou (Pap) testing of women Knowledge of HPV and cervical cancer among men is generally low, and is even lower among Hispanic versus non-Hispanic White men , which may influence male attitudes toward cervical cancer screening . 3% of the state’s population []. Cervical cancer is preventable with screening, and based on available data, multiple component screening interventions have been proposed as a s Racial disparities in cervical cancer incidence and mortality across the U. 3 Between 2013–2017, the This paper will present the experiences of Hispanic women (N = 10) who survived cervical cancer, including barriers to care, services needed and received, self-care measures AMIGAS is a bilingual educational outreach program. 9% [7 ]. These Hispanic American men and women generally have lower cancer rates than the non-Hispanic white population. Method: A cross-sectional survey was conducted among Hispanic women 18 to 65 years old ( n = 220). Annually, 250,000 to 1 million women are diagnosed with a precursor to CC. 014 Corpus ID: 10258931; Understanding barriers to cervical cancer screening among Hispanic women. e. Notably, incident rates of cervical cancer This finding supports the hypothesis that cervical cancer differences in Hispanic vs non-Hispanic white women may be driven by access to care rather than by ethnicity. Similarly, Gomez et al. 18–20 A cancer control study in Phoenix found that Hispanic women with low acculturation had especially low levels of cervical cancer screening Invasive breast cancer is the most common cancer and the leading cause of cancer death among Hispanic women in the US (Miller et al.

Specifically, we describe the iterative design methodology and rationale, usability evaluation, and pilot testing of the system with Hispanic women in a rural community in Florida. Knowledge, attitudes, and cultural beliefs may play a role in higher rates of infection of human papillomavirus (HPV) and decisions about subsequent diagnosis and treatment of cervical cancer. Results: Participants accessed the health care system primarily during times of illness or in association with impending marriage, It is found that some of the excess cervical cancer-specific mortality for non-Hispanic black women is mediated by factors such as insurance status and treatment, which suggest that enhancing existing insurance coverage and ensuring equal and adequate treatment in all women may be a key strategy for improving cervical cancer outcomes. Despite a lower overall incidence compared to non-Hispanic white women, the rate of new breast cancers detected in Hispanic women is rising at a faster rate ( Miller et al. 1016/S1049-3867(02)00132-9 Corpus ID: 31885677; Breast and cervical cancer screening in Hispanic women: a literature review using the health belief model. 1 For US Hispanic women living in border counties, breast cancer mortality rates range from 15. Chavez R, Wilson KM. Hispanic women have almost double the Objective: To examine factors affecting cervical cancer screening behaviors. A literature review was conducted to add Approximately 90 million people in the United States lack basic literacy skills, which affect health behaviors.

And Black women are more likely to die from the disease than women of any other race or ethnicity. 2000 standard We also know that Black and Hispanic women use cervical cancer prevention tools and screening methods at different rates [17, 20,21,22,23,24,25]. As a population with disproportionately low rates of health insurance coverage compared to other racial or ethnic groups, Hispanics face a number of barriers to accessing preventive cervical cancer Hispanic women have the highest cervical cancer incidence rate of any racial/ethnic group in the U. There really isn't a genetic difference that is causing Black women to, unfortunately, Director of Cancer Prevention and Control Program Doctor Jennifer Molokwu said Hispanic women are almost twice as much affected by cervical cancer than the rest of the population. Participants were women 50 years and older who were nonadherent to mammography (n = 464) or Papanicolaou (Pap) test (n = 243) screening guidelines. Design. OBJECTIVES We tested the effectiveness of a lay health worker intervention to The higher incidence and mortality rates of cervical cancer in Puerto Ricans, US Hispanics, and Blacks compared to Non-Hispanic White women could be due to a higher prevalence of circulating HPV infections coupled with lower screening Black women were more likely to die of cervical cancer (HR: 1. Ethn Dis. 2 Cervical cancer is the 10th most common cancer among women and accounts for Despite advances in screening and treatment during the past several decades, breast and cervical cancer remain a major health problem for Hispanic women, as many women have never had a mammogram or Papanicolaou smear, or are not tested regularly. Methods: We used California Cancer Registry data (1994 The factors that may play a role in Hispanic women's cervical cancer screening and treatment need to be elucidated to better design program and create opportunities that will lead to the resolution of the disparity that currently exists. In 2018, the World Health Organization called for the elimination of cervical cancer worldwide (<4 cases per 100,000 women-years), within the 21st century. 4% of girls age 13–17 have completed the 3 dose vaccine Hispanic women's cervical cancer rates are disproportionately high. The incidence of Surveying an intersectional marginalized population (Hispanic women, especially Hispanic migrant women with cervical cancer) can be more difficult due to a relative lack of published guidelines on how to conduct methodologically and ethically sound research with them (Castañeda & Smith, 2023). Specifically, we describe the iterative design methodology and rationale, usability evaluation, and pilot testing of the system with Hispanic women in a rural community in Florida Objective: To examine factors affecting cervical cancer screening behaviors. 5 An estimated 46,500 cancer deaths will occur among Hispanic individuals in the continental U. 0, 8. 3 to 16. The Health Belief Model (HBM) was used as a theoretical framework to explore beliefs, attitudes, socio-economic, and cultural The incidence of cervical cancer is 7. Additionally, Hispanic women have higher rates of cervical cancer than non-Hispanic white women. Among those cancers (cervical, vulvar, vaginal, anal, oropharyngeal, and penile), the overwhelming majority can be prevented with vaccination and cervical cancer screening and treatment. Cervical cancer represents one of the starkest health disparities facing U. The moderator guide was developed using the Health Belief Model. In 2019, Latinas had the highest cervical cancer incidence rate compared to women from other Objective Cervical cancer in the USA has transformed from a leading cause of cancer death, to a now largely preventable disease. The Health Belief Model (HBM) was used as a theoretical framework to explore beliefs, attitudes, socio-economic, and cultural factors influencing Hispanic women's decisions about cervical cancer screening. Community health worker intervention to decrease cervical cancer disparities in Hispanic women. , The Hispanic population in South Carolina grew by 148% between 2000 and 2010 and is currently approximately 5. 25. Results: Knowledge of screening Hispanic women are at especially high risk; compared to non-Hispanic White women, they are 40 % more likely to be diagnosed with cervical cancer and 30 % more likely to die from it (Cancer and Hispanic Americans, 2022). Background: Disparities among Hispanic women getting screened for cervical cancer compared to non-Hispanic White women continue to exist, despite Hispanic women having higher incidence and mortality rates of cervical cancer. Hispanics were second only to black women in actual deaths from cervical cancer ( U. Cancer Epidemiology and Prevention Hispanic women have almost double the cervical cancer incidence and are twice as likely to die from cervical cancer compared with non-Hispanic White women. . 8/100,000 for non-Hispanic white women. Hispanic women. 05. Cervical cancer is preventable with screening, and based on available data, multiple component screening interventions have been proposed as a strategy to maximize screening, but such studies are Clinician recommendation of both mammograms and Pap smears and opportunistic clinic visits to medical providers may increase breast and cervical cancer screening coverage and reduce the burden of these two cancers in this high-risk population. However, the reported rate of follow-up (i. 1, 2 In the US, 12,410 women are diagnosed with cervical cancer each year, and of these Hispanic women have the highest incidence rate with an age-adjusted incidence of 12. Cancer screening barriers common among Hispanic women include fear of cancer, fatalistic views on The aim of this study was to review published studies that examined factors influencing breast and cervical cancer screening behavior in Hispanic women, using the Health Belief Model (HBM). -born Hispanic women . In addition, studies show that Black and Hispanic women have less knowledge about the Pap test [26, 27], have limited information on the HPV vaccine, and are significantly less likely to have heard of HPV [25, All women are at risk for cervical cancer but unfortunately Hispanic/Latino women have about twice the risk of developing cervical cancer, compared to other women.

A cross-sectional survey was conducted among Hispanic women 18-65 years old (n = 205) in the Objectives: We examined stage of diagnosis and survival after cervical cancer among Hispanic women, and their associations with Hispanic nativity, and explored whether neighborhood socioeconomic status (SES) and residence in a Hispanic enclave modify the association of nativity with stage and survival. J Natl Cancer Inst Monogr 1995;18:95–100. The disease accounts for Several studies have explored factors affecting HPV prevention and cervical cancer screening among Hispanic women, but the experiences of Hispanic women who have We are diagnosed with cervical cancer at higher rates than non-Hispanic women and are more likely to die from it. According to the Health Resources Services Administration (HRSA), border counties are those in which any part of the count This study examined breast and cervical cancer knowledge, attitudes, and screening behaviors among different Hispanic populations in the United States. 0 breast cancer deaths per 100,000 women as compared to 15. The aim of this study was to assess whether Hispanics have a higher prevalence of cervical dysplasia compared to Non-Hispanics Whites among a The effectiveness of a lay health worker intervention to increase breast and cervical cancer screening among low-income Hispanic women and significantly increased Pap test self-efficacy, perceived benefits of having a Pap test, subjective norms, and perceived survivability of cancer. Compared to non-Hispanic White women, Hispanic women are often diagnosed with more Hispanic women's cervical cancer rates are disproportionately high. 1, 2 Hispanic women have a 51% higher age-adjusted incidence of cervical cancer than non-Hispanic White women. 5 cases/100,000 women for 2004-2008, compared to an incidence of 7. However, rates of cancer diagnosis and survivorship differ among women of different ethnicities. are declining due to regular screening, but Black and Hispanic women still face disproportionately high risks. These disparities in cervical cancer incidence are directly linked to under-screening. The current overall cervical cancer Women of Hispanic/Latino ethnicity (henceforth termed Hispanic) are the racial/ethnic minority group with the highest incidence of cervical cancer, with an age-adjusted incidence of 9. 1016/j. It is proven to be effective in promoting cervical cancer screening among Hispanic women and Latinas ages 21 to 65. 1, 2, 3 Hispanic women have lower incidence rates of breast cancer than white women; however, The factors that may play a role in Hispanic women's cervical cancer screening and treatment need to be elucidated to better design program and create opportunities that will lead to the resolution of the disparity that currently exists. However, the investigators took measures to attain goals of Cervical cancer incidence is 32% higher among Hispanic women in the continental US and Hawaii and 78% higher among women in Puerto Rico compared to NHW women, yet is largely preventable through screening. The excess mortality observed in U. Background: Cancer survivors' screening participation is important to prevent cancer recurrence and to maintain health for the growing number of Hispanic cancer survivors. Skip to main content U. MEDLINE and PsycINFO databases and manual search were used to identify articles. Demographics: Hispanic women are the most likely to get cervical cancer, followed by Black women. In the United States, cervical cancer is more prevalent in Hispanic and African American women, Racial disparities in cervical cancer incidence and mortality across the U. To better understand the barriers and facilitators for Pap test screening, we conducted 13 focus groups with 84 Hispanic women aged Racial disparities in cervical cancer incidence and mortality across the U. To better understand the burden of cervical cancer, we assessed incidence and mortality rates and analyzed trends among non-Hispanic (NH) African American and White women in the US from 1999 to 2015. , 2022; Desai et al. 6 versus 2. To better understand the factors that have an impact on cervical cancer screening and care among Hispanics in the United States, Cervical cancer is largely preventable if detected early.
