Patient and Clinical Site Factors Associated With Rescreening Behavior Among Older Multiethnic, Low-Income Women

Abstract

Individual and health-care-delivery-system factors play important roles in the obtaining of regular mammograms by low-income women. These findings highlight the importance of both factors in improving rescreening rates among older women.

Participation and retention in the breast cancer screening program in New Brunswick Canada

“…Results of the multivariate Logistic regression for initial screening agreed with findings from other studies (Canadian Partnership Against Cancer, 2013, Zapka et al, 1989, Lerman et al, 1990, Katz and Hofer, 1994, Maxwell et al, 2001, McDonald and Sherman, 2010, Tang et al, 2000, Song and Fletcher, 1998, Sabogal et al, 2000, Barr et al, 2001, Rauscher et al, 2005, Bobo et al, 2004, Rosenberg et al, 2005, Calvocoressi et al, 2005, Fox et al, 2004). Results indicated certain demographic, geographic, and socioeconomic factors were significant determinants of both initial participation and retention but not always in the same direction.…”

“…Conditional on initial screening, retention rates have been found to be relatively high for subsequent screening, in contrast to initial screening rates, and this is reflected in the higher screening targets for subsequent rescreening (Canadian Partnership Against Cancer, 2015, Canadian Partnership Against Cancer, 2013). Among those studies examining rescreening (Song and Fletcher, 1998, Sabogal et al, 2000, Barr et al, 2001, Rauscher et al, 2005, Bobo et al, 2004, Rosenberg et al, 2005, Calvocoressi et al, 2005, Fox et al, 2004), some have identified demographic (Song and Fletcher, 1998, Sabogal et al, 2000, Rauscher et al, 2005, Rosenberg et al, 2005, Fox et al, 2004), socioeconomic (Song and Fletcher, 1998, Sabogal et al, 2000), psychological factors (Rauscher et al, 2005, Fox et al, 2004), medical history (Bobo et al, 2004), and cost (Bobo et al, 2004) as correlated with rescreening.…”

“…Many previous studies relied on self-reported data (Zapka et al, 1989, Lerman et al, 1990, Katz and Hofer, 1994, Maxwell et al, 2001, McDonald and Sherman, 2010, Tang et al, 2000) and examined initial rescreening only (Song and Fletcher, 1998, Barr et al, 2001, Bobo et al, 2004, Calvocoressi et al, 2005, Fox et al, 2004) or first and second follow-up (Rauscher et al, 2005, Bancej et al, 2005) only, without considering initial screening or retention over a longer period of time. Some existing studies have used administrative data on individuals participating in screening programs to study compliance with guidelines (Kiran et al, 2014, Corkum et al, 2014, Vigod et al, 2011) but use of Canadian administrative data has been limited (Bancej et al, 2005).…”

Gender Differences in Healthcare-Seeking Behavior for Urinary Incontinence and the Impact of Socioeconomic Status

“…We also explore how the gender discrepancy varies by age, education, and income level, given the increased prevalence and severity of UI with aging, 11 and the impact of socioeconomic factors on primary care access and utilization. [12][13][14] …”

Coping Style and Women's Participation in Breast and Gynecological Screening

“…Research on predictors of breast and gynecological cancer screening practices has focused mainly on sociodemographic/environmental factors (Hall, Uhler, Coughlin, & Miller, 2002;Harrison et al, 2003;Selvin & Brett, 2003) and women's knowledge and beliefs about screening (Crump, Mayberry, Taylor, Barefield, & Thomas, 2000;Fox et al, 2004;Rawl, Champion, Menon, & Foster, 2000). There is less research on the influence of psychologi-248 C. R. Barron et al cal variables, especially those representing personality characteristics (Siegler & Costa, 1994).…”
