Racial and Ethnic Disparities in Cervical Cancer Screening From Three U.S. Healthcare Settings

J. C. Spencer, J. J. Kim, et al.

This study highlights critical racial and ethnic disparities in cervical cancer screening and follow-up among U.S. healthcare settings. Notably, non-Hispanic Black patients exhibited the lowest screening rates, while Hispanic and Asian/Pacific Islander patients fared better. The research underscores the need for systemic changes to improve follow-up care for all populations. Conducted by Jennifer C Spencer and colleagues, this research aims to illuminate and address inequities in healthcare access.

Abstract
This study characterized racial and ethnic disparities in cervical cancer screening and follow-up across three U.S. healthcare settings. Among 188,415 patients, 62.8% received screening. Screening was lower among non-Hispanic Black patients (53.2%) and higher among Hispanic (65.4%) and Asian/Pacific Islander (66.5%) patients than non-Hispanic White patients (63.5%). Most differences were explained by site and insurance. Hispanic patients remained more likely to screen after adjusting for various factors. Follow-up for abnormal results was low (72.5%), highest among Hispanic participants (78.8%). Lower screening for Black patients was attenuated by controlling for insurance and site, highlighting systemic inequity. Improving follow-up is crucial for all populations.
