Cancer and cancer screening disparities exist across Latino subgroups; however the reasons for these disparities are not fully known. This study examines (1) mammography screening among Latinas born in Mexico, Central-America and South-America and (2) the impact of birthplace and acculturation on mammography screening. Data were derived from the California Health Interview Survey 2007. Analyses included 1,675 Latina women 40 years of age and older. Multivariate logistic regression examined predictors of mammography screening. Mexican and Central-American women were less likely to report ever receiving a mammogram while Mexican women were less likely to report a recent mammogram. Low-acculturated women were less likely to report ever receiving a mammogram and less likely to report recent mammography. Different screening patterns across Latina subgroups were observed. Differences in screening patterns and the factors associated with screening highlight the need for unique intervention strategies tailored specifically to Latinas.
癌症和癌症筛查的差异存在于拉丁裔亚群中；然而，这些差异的原因尚不完全清楚。本研究考察了（1）出生于墨西哥、中美洲和南美洲的拉丁裔女性的乳房 X 光筛查情况，以及（2）出生地点和文化适应对乳房 X 光筛查的影响。数据来自 2007 年加利福尼亚健康访谈调查。分析包括 1675 名 40 岁及以上的拉丁裔女性。多变量逻辑回归检验了乳房 X 光筛查的预测因素。墨西哥和中美洲女性报告曾接受过乳房 X 光检查的可能性较小，而墨西哥女性报告最近接受过乳房 X 光检查的可能性较小。低文化适应的女性接受过乳房 X 光检查的可能性较小，最近接受过乳房 X 光检查的可能性也较小。观察到拉丁裔亚群之间存在不同的筛查模式。筛查模式的差异以及与筛查相关的因素突出表明，需要针对拉丁裔女性制定独特的干预策略。
