ABSTRACT
This study was designed to identify determinants of breast and cervical cancer screening among rural, low-income Hispanic women using migrant health clinics in eastern Washington state. Five hundred and twelve foreign-born Hispanic women were interviewed. Odds ratios and 95 percent confidence intervals generated via logistic regression analysis were used to discern the influence of independent factors on use or nonuse of Papanicolaou (Pap) smear, breast self-examination (BSE), and mammography. Being married, having a higher income, more years of education, and longer U.S. residency predicted receipt of Pap smear. Women who performed BSE had higher incomes and were more likely to have been taught how to perform the procedure. Low concern for direct expenditure and increasing years of U.S. residency predicted receipt of mammogram. On the basis of these findings, implications for developing cancer-screening interventions using inreach and outreach strategies to target this high-risk subgroup are discussed.
