Abstract
PURPOSE Black women are less likely to receive screening mammograms, are more likely to develop breast cancer at an earlier age, and more likely to die from breast cancer when compared to White women. Affordable Care Act (ACA) provisions decreased cost sharing for women's preventive screening, potentially mitigating screening disparities. We examined enrollment of a high-risk screening program before and after ACA implementation stratified by race. METHODS This retrospective, quasi-experimental study examined the ACA's impact on patient demographics at a high-risk breast cancer screening clinic from 02/28/2003 to 02/28/2019. Patient demographic data were abstracted from electronic medical records and descriptively compared in the pre- and post-ACA time periods. Interrupted time series (ITS) analysis using Poisson regression assessed yearly clinic enrollment rates by race using incidence rate ratios (IRR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI). RESULTS Two thousand seven hundred and sixty-seven patients enrolled in the clinic. On average, patients were 46 years old (SD, ± 12), 82% were commercially insured, and 8% lived in a highly disadvantaged neighborhood. In ITS models accounting for trends over time, prior to ACA implementation, White patient enrollment was stable (IRR 1.01, 95% CI 1.00-1.02) while Black patient enrollment increased at 13% per year (IRR 1.13, 95% CI 1.05-1.22). Compared to the pre-ACA enrollment period, the post-ACA enrollment rate remained unchanged for White patients (IRR 0.99, 95% CI 0.97-1.01) but decreased by 17% per year for Black patients (IRR 0.83, 95% CI 0.74-0.92). CONCLUSION Black patient enrollment decreased at a high-risk breast cancer screening clinic post-ACA compared to the pre-ACA period, indicating a need to identify factors contributing to racial disparities in clinic enrollment.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The majority of literature on cervical cancer (CC) and cervical cancer screening (CCS) focused on women all over the world. However, research has indicated that men's involvement in CCS can lead to improved health outcomes for women. Despite this, there is limited information available in the literature regarding men's attitudes toward CCS. This highlights the need for further study on the subject to increase understanding and improve outcomes. The purpose of this study was therefore to explore the perceptions and attitudes toward partners' support for CCS among married men from the Adentan Municipality. STUDY DESIGN An exploratory descriptive qualitative approach was used in the study to explore the perceptions of married men about male involvement in CCS. METHODS Thirty-four married men were purposively selected to be part of the interviews. A semistructured interview guide was used to collect data, which were recorded. The tape-recorded data were reproduced verbatim, and content analysis was carried out to generate the themes and subthemes. RESULTS Three themes and nine subthemes were constructed from the data analysis. The study revealed that the perceptions of males about cervical cancer had a positive or a negative influence on women's behaviors toward CCS. It was interesting that some men constantly reminded their wives to participate in CCS. However, some barriers to men's support included fear of trauma to the wife's vagina during screening and concerns about exposure to the wife's nakedness. CONCLUSION It was therefore recommended that healthcare facilities should roll out sustainable programs and policies to involve men in CC prevention. In addition, health workers should devise innovative ways to make male involvement in CCS more attractive to men.

Abstract
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a leading cause of cancer death in the USA. Screening programs in federally qualified health centers (FQHCs) are essential to reducing CRC-related mortality and morbidity among underserved populations. Centralized, population-based mailed fecal immunochemical test (FIT) programs can improve CRC screening rates, but barriers to implementation remain. We qualitatively explored barriers and facilitators to implementation of a mailed FIT program at a large, urban FQHC that employed advance notification "primers" (live calls and texts) and automated reminders. We interviewed 25 patients and 45 FQHC staff by telephone about their experience with the program. Interviews were transcribed, coded, and content analyzed using NVivo.12. Patients and staff found advance notifications conveyed through live phone calls or text messages to be acceptable and motivational for FIT completion. Live phone primers were helpful in addressing patients' questions and misconceptions about screening, particularly for patients new to screening. Advance notifications sent by text were considered timely and useful in preparing patients for receipt of the FIT. Barriers to implementation included lack of receipt of primers, reminders, or the mailed FIT itself due to inaccurate patient contact information within the FQHC medical record; lack of systems for documenting mailed FIT outreach to coordinate with clinical care; and lack of local caller identification for primers and reminders. Our findings demonstrate that an enhanced mailed FIT program using primers and reminders was acceptable. Our findings can help other FQHCs implement and optimize their mailed FIT programs.

Health insurance and neighborhood poverty as mediators of racial disparities in advanced disease stage at diagnosis and nonreceipt of surgery for women with breast cancer. Cancer Med 2023; 12:15414-15423. [PMID: 37278365 PMCID: PMC10417299 DOI: 10.1002/cam4.6127] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/05/2022] [Revised: 04/26/2023] [Accepted: 05/14/2023] [Indexed: 06/07/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND In our recent study, advanced disease stage and nonreceipt of surgery were the most important mediators of the racial disparity in breast cancer survival. The purpose of this study was to quantify the racial disparity in these two intermediate outcomes and investigate mediation by the more proximal mediators of insurance status and neighborhood poverty. METHODS This was a cross-sectional study of non-Hispanic Black and non-Hispanic White women diagnosed with first primary invasive breast cancer in Florida between 2004 and 2015. Log-binomial regression was used to obtain prevalence ratios (PR) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Multiple mediation analysis was used to assess the role of having Medicaid/being uninsured and living in high-poverty neighborhoods on the race effect. RESULTS There were 101,872 women in the study (87.0% White, 13.0% Black). Black women were 55% more likely to be diagnosed with advanced disease stage at diagnosis (PR, 1.55; 95% CI, 1.50-1.60) and nearly twofold more likely to not receive surgery (PR, 1.97; 95% CI, 1.90-2.04). Insurance status and neighborhood poverty explained 17.6% and 5.3% of the racial disparity in advanced disease stage at diagnosis, respectively; 64.3% remained unexplained. For nonreceipt of surgery, insurance status explained 6.8% while neighborhood poverty explained 3.2%; 52.1% was unexplained. CONCLUSIONS Insurance status and neighborhood poverty were significant mediators of the racial disparity in advanced disease stage at diagnosis with a smaller impact on nonreceipt of surgery. However, interventions designed to improve breast cancer screening and receipt of high-quality cancer treatment must address additional barriers for Black women with breast cancer.

Examining colorectal cancer screening uptake and health provider recommendations among underserved middle aged and older African Americans. Health Promot Perspect 2022; 12:399-409. [PMID: 36852204 PMCID: PMC9958235 DOI: 10.34172/hpp.2022.52] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/23/2022] [Accepted: 12/24/2022] [Indexed: 02/22/2023] Open
Abstract
Background: The purpose of this study is to determine whether underserved middle-aged and older African Americans are receiving a colorectal cancer (CRC) screening test (sigmoidoscopy or colonoscopy) and if recommended by their provider. Additionally, we examined correlates of both provider recommendation and uptake of CRC screening. Methods: Seven hundred forty African American individuals, aged 55 and older, participated in this local community cross-sectional survey. We used a multivariate technique of logistic regression. Results: One out of three participants reported that they never received a sigmoidoscopy or colonoscopy for CRC screening. More than 31% indicted that their providers never suggested CRC testing. However, participants who indicated that their providers recommended sigmoidoscopy/colonoscopy were almost 49 times (odds ratio [OR]: 48.9, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 29.5-81.2) more likely to obtain it compared to their counterparts who were not advised to have these procedures. Our data suggest that African American men were significantly less likely than women to receive recommendations from their providers (OR: 0.70, 95% CI: 0.50-0.91). Furthermore, controlling for other variables, the following factors: 1) living arrangement (OR: 1.44, 95% CI: 1.02-2.04), 2) health maintenance organization (HMO) membership (OR: 1.84, 95% CI: 1.28-2.67), 3) number of providers (OR: 1.15, 95% CI: 1.01-1.32), 4) satisfaction with access to and quality of care (OR: 1.24, 95% CI: 1.03-1.51), 5) depressive symptoms (OR: 0.92, 95% CI: 0.86-0.98), and 6) gastrointestinal conditions (OR: 1.73, 95% CI: 1.16-2.58) were associated with obtaining a sigmoidoscopy or colonoscopy test. Conclusion: Our findings suggest that the absence of a provider recommendation is the primary barrier preventing underserved older African Americans from obtaining CRC screening. In addition, our data revealed significant association between obtaining CRC screening and some of the predisposing characteristics of participants, satisfaction with access to and quality of care, and physical and mental health. These findings are consistent with this notion that disparities in health care for African Americans can be traced back to four primary factors: patients, healthcare providers, the healthcare system, and society as a whole, and emphasize the need for establishing theory-driven, culturally-sensitive, and cost-effective CRC screening interventions that recognize and address the constraints to cancer screening experienced by this segment of population.

Sister, Give Me Your Hand: a Qualitative Focus Group Study on Beliefs and Barriers to Mammography Screening in Black Women During the COVID-19 Era. J Racial Ethn Health Disparities 2022; 10:1466-1477.

Abstract
Aims/Purpose To evaluate current day challenges and beliefs about breast cancer screening for Black women in two diverse northeast communities in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. Background Breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer-related death in women in the USA. Although Black women are less likely to be diagnosed with breast cancer, they suffer a higher mortality. Early detection of breast cancer can be accomplished through routine screening mammography, yet the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on mammography screening barriers and perception in minority communities is uncertain. Methods Five focus group interviews were conducted as the first phase of a mixed method study across two heterogeneously diverse locations, Camden, New Jersey, and Brooklyn, New York. Results Thirty-three women participated in this study; sixteen women were recruited at the New Jersey location and seventeen at the New York location. Only two thirds of the women stated that they had received a mammogram within the last 2 years. The major themes were binary: I get screened or I do not get screened. Subthemes were categorized as patient related or system related. Conclusions Our findings on factors that affect breast cancer screening decisions during the COVID-19 era include barriers that are related to poverty and insurance status, as well as those that are related to medical mistrust and negative healthcare experiences. Community outreach efforts should concentrate on building trust, providing equitable digital access, and skillfully addressing breast health perceptions.

Abstract
Objective: Cancer mortality in the U.S. Deep South exceeds national levels. A cross-sectional survey was undertaken across Alabama to discern cancer beliefs and screening practices, and compare data from racial/ethnic minority versus majority and rural versus urban respondents. Methods: Using population-based methods, we approached 5,633 Alabamians (ages 50-80) to complete a 58-item survey (administered in-person, via telephone, or the web). Descriptive statistics were used to summarize findings; two-tailed, chi-square and t-tests (α<0.05) were used to compare minority-majority and rural-urban subgroups. Results: The response rate was 15.2%; respondents identified as minority (n=356) or majority (n=486), and rural (n=671) or urban (n=183). Mean (SD) age was 63.7 (10.2) and >90% indicated stable housing, and healthcare coverage and access. Rural and minority versus urban and majority respondents were significantly more likely to have lower education, employment, and income, respectively. Most respondents equated cancer as a "death sentence" and were unable to identify the age at which cancer screening should begin. Few rural-urban subgroup differences were noted, though significant differences were observed between minority versus majority subgroups for mammography (36.7% versus 49.6%, p<.001) and colorectal cancer screening (34.5% vs. 47.9%, p<0.001). Furthermore, while minorities were significantly more likely to report ever having a colonoscopy (82.1% versus 76.1%, p=0.041) and to have received fecal occult blood testing within the past year (17.2% versus 12.2%, p=0.046), routine adherence to screening was <20% across all subgroups. Discussion: Cancer early detection education is needed across Alabama to improve cancer screening, and particularly needed among racial/ethnic minorities to raise cancer awareness.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Experiences typically considered private, such as, miscarriages and preterm births are being discussed publicly on social media and Internet discussion websites. These data can provide timely illustrations of how individuals discuss miscarriages and preterm births, as well as insights into the wellbeing of women who have experienced a miscarriage. OBJECTIVES To characterise how users discuss the topic of miscarriage and preterm births on Twitter, analyse trends and drivers, and describe the perceived emotional state of women who have experienced a miscarriage. METHODS We obtained 291 443 Twitter postings on miscarriages and preterm births from January 2017 through December 2018. Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) was used to identify major topics of discussion. We applied time series decomposition methods to assess temporal trends and identify major drivers of discussion. Furthermore, four coders labelled the emotional content of 7282 personal miscarriage disclosure tweets into the following non-mutually exclusive categories: grief/sadness/depression, anger, relief, isolation, annoyance, and neutral. RESULTS Topics in our data fell into eight groups: celebrity disclosures, Michelle Obama's disclosure, politics, healthcare, preterm births, loss and anxiety, flu vaccine and ectopic pregnancies. Political discussions around miscarriages were largely due to a misunderstanding between abortions and miscarriages. Grief and annoyance were the most commonly expressed emotions within the miscarriage self-disclosures; 50.6% (95% confidence interval [CI] 49.1, 52.2) and 16.2% (95% CI 15.2, 17.3). Postings increased with celebrity disclosures, pharmacists' refusal of prescribed medications and outrage over the high rate of preterm births in the United States. Miscarriage disclosures by celebrities also led to disclosures by women who had similar experiences. CONCLUSIONS This study suggests that increase in discussions of miscarriage on social media are associated with several factors, including celebrity disclosures. Additionally, there is a misunderstanding of the potential physical, emotional and psychological impacts on individuals who lose a pregnancy due to a miscarriage.

Abstract
Underutilization of effective screening is one driver of disparities in cervical cancer incidence and mortality. Consideration of patient preferences could help to improve screening rates in populations facing substantial barriers to preventive care. We conducted a systematic review of the literature on cervical cancer screening preferences among medically underserved patients in the United States. We searched six electronic databases (PubMed, Web of Science, EMBASE, Scopus, CINAHL, and PsycINFO) for articles published through February 2019 (Prospero ID: CRD42019125431). Among the 43 articles included, 23 reported screening modality preferences, 11 reported preferences related to provider demographics and attributes, six reported screening scheduling and results delivery preferences, and nine reported preferences related to health education and communication. This review demonstrates the wide variety of medically underserved patient preferences related to cervical cancer screening. It also draws attention to two key preference trends that emerged despite heterogeneity in study design, populations, and preference assessment. Consistent preferences for human papillomavirus self-testing over traditional Pap testing highlight a key potential mechanism for increasing cervical cancer screening uptake among medically underserved populations. In addition, preferences for gender- and language-concordant providers underscore the need for continued efforts toward expanding diversity among medical professionals.

Integrated copy number and miRNA expression analysis in triple negative breast cancer of Latin American patients. Oncotarget 2019; 10:6184-6203. [PMID: 31692930 PMCID: PMC6817452 DOI: 10.18632/oncotarget.27250] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/11/2019] [Accepted: 09/16/2019] [Indexed: 12/18/2022] Open
Abstract
Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC), a clinically aggressive breast cancer subtype, affects 15–35% of women from Latin America. Using an approach of direct integration of copy number and global miRNA profiling data, performed simultaneously in the same tumor specimens, we identified a panel of 17 miRNAs specifically associated with TNBC of ancestrally characterized patients from Latin America, Brazil. This panel was differentially expressed between the TNBC and non-TNBC subtypes studied (p ≤ 0.05, FDR ≤ 0.25), with their expression levels concordant with the patterns of copy number alterations (CNAs), present mostly frequent at 8q21.3-q24.3, 3q24-29, 6p25.3-p12.2, 1q21.1-q44, 5q11.1-q22.1, 11p13-p11.2, 13q12.11-q14.3, 17q24.2-q25.3 and Xp22.33-p11.21. The combined 17 miRNAs presented a high power (AUC = 0.953 (0.78–0.99);95% CI) in discriminating between the TNBC and non-TNBC subtypes of the patients studied. In addition, the expression of 14 and 15 of the 17miRNAs was significantly associated with tumor subtype when adjusted for tumor stage and grade, respectively. In conclusion, the panel of miRNAs identified demonstrated the impact of CNAs in miRNA expression levels and identified miRNA target genes potentially affected by both CNAs and miRNA deregulation. These targets, involved in critical signaling pathways and biological functions associated specifically with the TNBC transcriptome of Latina patients, can provide biological insights into the observed differences in the TNBC clinical outcome among racial/ethnic groups, taking into consideration their genetic ancestry.

[PMID: 31147981 PMCID: PMC6667516 DOI: 10.1007/s11606-019-05064-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 18] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/01/2018] [Revised: 01/11/2019] [Accepted: 04/11/2019] [Indexed: 12/19/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND National guidelines recommend against cancer screening for older individuals with less than a 10-year life expectancy, but it is unknown if this population desires ongoing screening. OBJECTIVE To determine (1) if older individuals with < 10-year life expectancy have future intentions for cancer screening, (2) if they recall a doctor previously suggesting that screening is no longer needed, and (3) individual characteristics associated with intentions to seek screening. DESIGN National Social life Health and Aging Project (2015-2016), a nationally representative, cross-sectional survey. PARTICIPANTS Community-dwelling adults 55-97 years old (n = 3816). MAIN MEASURES Self-reported: (1) mammography and PSA testing within the last 2 years, (2) future intentions to be screened, and (3) discussion with a doctor that screening is no longer needed. Ten-year life expectancy was estimated using the Lee prognostic index. Multivariate logistic regression analysis examined intentions to pursue future screening, adjusting for sociodemographic and health covariates. KEY RESULTS Among women 75-84 with < 10-year life expectancy, 59% intend on future mammography and 81% recall no conversation with a doctor that mammography may no longer be necessary. Among men 75-84 with < 10-year life expectancy, 54% intend on future PSA screening and 77% recall no discussions that PSA screening may be unnecessary. In adjusted analyses, those reporting recent cancer screening or no recollection that screening may not be necessary were more likely to want future mammography or PSA screening (p < 0.001). CONCLUSION Over 75% of older individuals with limited life expectancy intend to continue cancer screening, and less than 25% recall discussing with physicians the need for these tests. In addition to public health and education efforts, these results suggest that older adults' recollection of being told by physicians that screening is not necessary may be a modifiable risk factor for reducing overscreening in older adults with limited life expectancy.

Abstract
All over the world, health care systems are experiencing the challenges raised by the epidemiological transition from the prevalence of acute diseases to the preponderance of chronic illnesses. However, the traditional design for acute conditions of most of health care systems – which triggers a hospital-centric culture – is not consistent with the special health needs of people suffering from long-term conditions. In fact, the access of chronic patients to hospital services has been variously contested to be inappropriate and ineffective to meet their demand for care. Sticking to these considerations, this study investigates the factors that influence the occurrence of hospitalization and the length of hospital stays of a representative sample of Italian chronic patients. Secondary data were collected from the European Health Interview Survey. The sample consisted of 8,127 people. A probit model and a multiple regression analysis were performed to obtain some evidence on the regressors of Italian patients’ access to hospital care. Among others, gender, work condition, health services’ use and health status were found to have a role in influencing chronic patients’ behaviors. The study findings prompted the formulation of several avenues for future developments, which provide some food for thought to policy makers and inspire an agenda for further research.

Abstract
Despite well-documented benefits of colorectal cancer (CRC) screening, African Americans are less likely to be screened and have higher CRC incidence and mortality than Whites. Emerging evidence suggests medical mistrust may influence CRC screening disparities among African Americans. The goal of this systematic review was to summarize evidence investigating associations between medical mistrust and CRC screening among African Americans, and variations in these associations by gender, CRC screening type, and level of mistrust. MEDLINE, CINAHL, Web of Science, PsycINFO, Google Scholar, Cochrane Database, and EMBASE were searched for English-language articles published from January 2000 to November 2016. 27 articles were included for this review (15 quantitative, 11 qualitative and 1 mixed methods study). The majority of quantitative studies linked higher mistrust scores with lower rates of CRC screening among African Americans. Most studies examined mistrust at the physician level, but few quantitative studies analyzed mistrust at an organizational level (i.e. healthcare systems, insurance, etc.). Quantitative differences in mistrust and CRC screening by gender were mixed, but qualitative studies highlighted fear of experimentation and intrusiveness of screening methods as unique themes among African American men. Limitations include heterogeneity in mistrust and CRC measures, and possible publication bias. Future studies should address methodological challenges found in this review, such as limited use of validated and reliable mistrust measures, examination of CRC screening outcomes beyond beliefs and intent, and a more thorough analysis of gender roles in the cancer screening process.

Breast cancer screening outreach effectiveness: Mammogram-specific reminders vs. comprehensive preventive services birthday letters. Prev Med 2017; 102:49-58. [PMID: 28655547 PMCID: PMC5638650 DOI: 10.1016/j.ypmed.2017.06.028] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/09/2017] [Revised: 06/19/2017] [Accepted: 06/22/2017] [Indexed: 12/28/2022]
Abstract
We compared the effectiveness of two outreach strategies on timely mammography adherence: a mammogram-specific reminder letter (sent just before a woman was due) to a birthday letter (addresses multiple preventive services and not timed around due dates). We evaluated screening mammography adherence following 79,848 mammogram-specific and 151,626 birthday letters mailed between 2002 and 2012 to women aged 40-74years enrolled in Kaiser Permanente Washington. Screening mammogram adherence was specifically tied to due date and was evaluated separately by age group and up-to-date or overdue status at the time of mailing. We used generalized estimating equations to account for correlation between repeated observations, to model the odds of screening mammography adherence by letter type. Among women up-to-date, adherence following birthday letters was 22-76% lower compared to the mammogram-specific reminders, with the greatest decreases in adherence in women aged 70-74. Birthday letters were more effective at activating screening uptake among some subgroups of overdue women aged 50-69 and most overdue women aged 70-74, but universally low adherence rates were observed in overdue women. Increasing number of recommended services for women aged 50-74 who were up-to-date resulted in 12-17% lower mammography adherence, but had no effect in women aged 40-49 or in overdue women. Birthday letters are less effective than mammogram-specific reminder letters at prompting women to undergo timely breast cancer screening, particularly among women up-to-date with screening. Birthday letters may be effective at increasing overall preventive care; however, supplemental outreach may be needed around the due date to increase timely preventive services receipt.

Abstract
CONTEXT Health care systems continue to seek evidence about how to optimize the efficiency and effectiveness of cancer screening reminders. Annual reminders to receive preventive services can be an efficient strategy. OBJECTIVE To understand patient motivators and barriers to cancer screening and preferences about reminder strategies. DESIGN We conducted 11 focus groups among adults recommended for cancer screening within Kaiser Permanente Washington. We held separate focus groups with women aged 21 to 49 years, women 50 to 75 years, and men 50 to 75 years. We used an inductive, validated coding scheme for analysis. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Motivators and barriers to obtaining recommended cancer screening and general cancer screening reminder content and modality preferences. RESULTS Half of our participants were women aged 50 to 75 years, and 25% were men aged 50 to 75 years. Differences by age, sex, insurance status, financial status, and health beliefs all drove the participants' preferences for whether they seek these recommended services and how and when they wish to be reminded about recommended cancer screening. Most participants preferred personalized reminders, and many favored receiving reminders less than 3 months before the recommended procedure date rather than a consolidated annual reminder. Younger participants more commonly requested electronic reminders, such as texts and e-mails. CONCLUSION Optimizing cancer screening reminders within a health care system involves a multifaceted approach that enables members to request which form of reminder they prefer (eg, electronic, paper, telephone) and the timing with which they want to be reminded, while staying affordable and manageable to the health care system.
