This study examines breast cancer screening behavior among subpopulations of Black women in the United States. Binary logistic regression was used to analyze breast cancer screening among a nationally-representative sample (n = 9,783) of Black women-US-born, non-US-born Caribbean, and non-US-born African-from the 2011-2017 National Health Interview Survey dataset. Non-US-born African Black women were less likely to have breast cancer screening, compared to US-born Black women. Among non-US-born Black women, non-US-born Caribbean Black women were more likely to have had breast cancer screening. Differential healthcare access associated with nativity differences among Black women can be informing their breast cancer screening behaviors. Efforts to improve breast cancer outcomes among Black women can benefit from interventions that account for differential access to healthcare and breast cancer screening behaviors among subgroups of Black women.
本研究考察了美国黑人女性亚群的乳腺癌筛查行为。采用二元逻辑回归分析了美国出生、非美出生加勒比裔和非美出生非洲裔的黑人女性（n=9783）在 2011-2017 年全国健康访谈调查数据集的乳腺癌筛查情况。与美国出生的黑人女性相比，非美出生的非洲裔黑人女性接受乳腺癌筛查的可能性较低。在非美出生的黑人女性中，非美出生的加勒比裔黑人女性更有可能接受乳腺癌筛查。与出生地点差异相关的不同医疗保健机会可能会影响黑人女性的乳腺癌筛查行为。为改善黑人女性的乳腺癌预后，可以从干预措施中受益，这些干预措施考虑了不同的医疗保健机会以及黑人女性亚群的乳腺癌筛查行为。
