abstract: 'With the marked increase of the Latino population in the United States
|
|
|
|
during the past 20 years, there has been growing interest in the social,
|
|
|
|
cultural, and structural factors that may impede breast cancer screening
|
|
|
|
among Latino women, especially among those subgroups that have been
|
|
|
|
understudied. Acculturation and fatalism are central cultural constructs
|
|
|
|
in these growing fields of research. However, there is great debate on
|
|
|
|
the extent to which acculturation and fatalism affect breast cancer
|
|
|
|
screening among Latinas relative to other social or structural factors
|
|
|
|
or logistical barriers. Moreover, little theoretical work specifies or
|
|
|
|
tests pathways between social, structural, and cultural determinants of
|
|
|
|
screening. This study tests a theoretical model of social and structural
|
|
|
|
(socioeconomic status and access to health care) and cultural factors
|
|
|
|
(acculturation and fatalism) as correlates of mammography screening
|
|
|
|
among Dominican Latinas, a group that has been understudied. The study
|
|
|
|
expands prior work by examining other factors identified as potential
|
|
|
|
impediments to mammography screening, specifically psychosocial (e.g.,
|
|
|
|
embarrassment, pain) and logistical (e.g., not knowing how to get a
|
|
|
|
mammogram, cost) barriers. Interview-administered surveys were conducted
|
|
|
|
with 318 Latinas from the Dominican Republic aged 40 years or older.
|
|
|
|
Fatalistic beliefs were not associated with mammogram screening. Greater
|
|
|
|
acculturation assessed as language use was associated with decreased
|
|
|
|
screening. The strongest predictor of decreased screening was perceived
|
|
|
|
barriers. Results highlight the importance of assessing various
|
|
|
|
self-reported psychosocial and logistical barriers to screening.
|
|
|
|
Possible avenues for screening interventions include intensifying public
|
|
|
|
health campaigns and use of personalized messages to address barriers to
|
|
|
|
screening. Results add to a limited body of research on Dominicans, who
|
|
|
|
constitute the fifth largest Latino group in the United States.'
