To examine the relationship between age, race, ethnicity, education, insurance coverage, and income and use of cancer screening services.
We used a population-based sample (N=1863) from a community randomized intervention study that took place in eastern Washington State.
Pap testing was directly associated with having public health insurance (vs private coverage), and having a high income (>$35,000 vs < or = $15,000). Having Medicare coverage was predictive of having had a mammogram or sigmoidoscopy/colonoscopy screening, but not an FOBT.
Our findings may reflect age-dependent factors that influence access to health care.
研究年龄、种族、民族、教育程度、保险覆盖情况、收入与癌症筛查服务使用之间的关系。
我们使用了来自华盛顿州东部一项社区随机干预研究的基于人群的样本(N = 1863)。
巴氏试验与拥有公共医疗保险(相对于私人保险)以及高收入(> 35,000美元相对于≤ 15,000美元)直接相关。拥有医疗保险可预测曾进行乳房X光检查或乙状结肠镜检查/结肠镜检查,但不能预测粪便潜血试验。
我们的研究结果可能反映了影响医疗保健可及性的年龄相关因素。
