“…[4][5][6]15,16 The results from this study suggest that older foreign-born women who stop screening at age 65 years may not have been adequately screened previously. Work by Endeshaw et al 17 further supports this conclusion, finding that 17.1% of foreign-born women older than age 65 years have never been screened for cervical cancer, compared with 6.0% of U.S.-born women older than age 65 years.…”

Introduction: Historically, foreign-born women in the U.S. are less likely to be screened and are more likely to die from cervical cancer when compared with their U.S.-born counterparts. In order to inform prevention efforts and reduce this health disparity, mortality data were obtained from the National Center for Health Statistics to describe cervical cancer mortality among U.S.-and foreign-born women.

“…However, we have the possibility of reaching the highest-risk women if we make self-sampling a priority for screening populations that are not accessing clinician-based screening for cervical cancer. A recent publication by Endeshaw et al 26 found that foreign-born women have limited access to screening—between 10 and 28% of those women had never received a Pap smear. Dr. Pierce very accurately mentioned the challenges associated with reaching unscreened women and motivating them to collect and return a self-collected sample.…”

“…[35] The low uptake of screening observed in our study are similar to findings from other studies reporting lower screening proportions among refugees and immigrants when compared to U. S. born populations. [19][20][21]36] Acceptance of screening was highest among the Myanmar and Bhutanese groups. The Building Bridges program was most effective in these two culture groups.…”

Background Refugees are less likely than US born populations to receive cancer screenings. Building Bridges is a community health worker prevention program designed to increase refugee's cancer screening uptake. The purpose of this cross sectional analysis was to assess differences in uptake of cervical, breast, liver, and colorectal screens across six cultural groups. Methods Data was abstracted in 2018 for this analysis. Participants were categorized into six cultural groups (Myanmar, Central Africa, Bhutan, Somalia, Arabic Speaking Countries, and Other) to assess differences in sociodemographic measures and screening uptake. Uptake proportions were calculated for each cancer type (cervical, breast, liver, and colon) among eligible participants, by gender and cultural group. Differences in uptake across groups were assessed using stratified analysis and logistic regression. Prevalence odds ratios (POR) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated for each group to assess the association between screening completion and cultural group. Findings 874 refugees were asked about cancer screening history. The majority of participants were either 'never had been screened' or 'not up-to-date' for every cancer screening. Among age eligible, 82% had no prior pap exam within the past 3 years, 81% had no prior mammogram within the past year, 69% didn't know their Hepatitis B status and 87% never had a colon cancer screening. Overall, higher uptake of all types of cancer screenings was observed in Myanmar and Bhutanese groups, except colon cancer screening which was higher among Central African Region and Arabic Speaking participants.
