Differences in cervical cancer screening and follow-up for black and white women in the United States

Gynecologic Oncology Dec 16, 2020

Ford S, Tarraf W, Williams KP, et al. - This study was sought to evaluate variations in screening adherence and follow-up after an abnormal Pap test in Non-Hispanic Black (Black) and Non-Hispanic White (White) women. Researchers conducted an observational cohort study applying 2010 National Health Interview Survey cancer module to analyze HPV knowledge, screening behavior, and follow-up to abnormal Pap test in Black and White women 18 years of age or older without a hysterectomy. A total of 7509 women were examined in the study. The study found higher cervical cancer screening adherence in black women but lower rates of being informed of an abnormal Pap test and contacted for follow-up treatment. A multilevel approach was recommended to deliver culturally appropriate education and communication for patients, physicians, clinicians in training, and clinic level ancillary staff.
