“…referenCes recent data from managed care organizations confirmed earlier reports suggesting far more accuracy in the report of cardiovascular medications when compared to sedative-hypnotics, 23 daily aspirin use, 24 or even hormone replacement therapy. 25 The fact that individuals in our population receiving such medications also had significantly higher systolic and diastolic blood pressures is not at all unusual in community-based studies 20,21 and may serve to underscore the strength of the associations that we have reported here.…”

“…For example, analyses from the Behavioral Risk Factors Survey and the Nurses Health Study have shown that events such as reported myocardial infarct, stroke, cardiac bypass surgery and even hypertension tend to be underestimated in community-based surveys. [19][20][21] In contrast, pharmacy and medical records indicate that cardiovascular medications, including nitrates, β blockers, and angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, are reported far more accurately when compared with other classes of medication, including insulin, narcotics or nonsteroidal antiinflammatory medications. 22 These measures of sleep apnea were related to cardiovascular medication use in BASC.…”

“…However, anonymous surveys can reduce socially desirable responding, 24 and documented levels of reliability and validity of the questions in the BRFSS, on which these surveys were based, have been shown to be relatively high. 25,26 Finally, for some comparisons, the numbers available for analysis were small, which may have made statistically significant findings difficult to obtain. For example, we were unable to examine the association between WSW identifying as bisexual and health care utilization.…”

Past research has shown that women who either have sex with women or who identify as lesbian access less preventive health care than other women. However, previous studies have generally relied on convenience samples and have not examined the multiple associations of sexual identity, behavior and health care access/utilization. Unlike other studies, we used a multi-lingual population-based survey in New York City to examine the use of Pap tests and mammograms, as well as health care coverage and the use of primary care providers, among women who have sex with women and by sexual identity status. We found that women who had sex with women (WSW) were less likely to have had a Pap test in the past 3 years (66 vs. 80%, p G 0.0001) or a mammogram in the past 2 years (53 vs. 73%, p = 0.0009) than other women. After adjusting for health insurance coverage and other factors, WSW were ten times [adjusted odds ratio (AOR), 9.8, 95% confidence interval (CI), 4.2, 22.9] and four times (AOR, 4.0, 95% CI 1.3, 12.0) more likely than non-WSW to not have received a timely Pap test or mammogram, respectively. Women whose behavior and identity were concordant were more likely to access Pap tests and mammograms than those whose behavior and identity were discordant. For example, WSW who identified as lesbians were more likely to have received timely Pap tests (97 vs. 48%, p G 0.0001) and mammograms (86 vs. 42%, p = 0.0007) than those who identified as heterosexual. Given the current screening recommendations for Pap tests and mammograms, provider counseling and public health messages should be inclusive of women who have sex with women, including those who have sex with women but identify as heterosexual.
