Resumen
LAROUSSY, Lamiaa et al. Participation of the immigrant population in breast cancer screening in Tarragona, Spain. Gac Sanit [online]. 2019, vol.33, n.5, pp.468-471. Epub 23-Dic-2019. ISSN 0213-9111. https://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.gaceta.2018.05.010.
Objective
To evaluate the differences between autochthonous and allochthonous women's participation in a breast cancer screening programme.
Method
Retrospective study based on data from the Breast Cancer Screening Programme of the province of Tarragona (2008-2015). The sample is the target population of the programme with known country of origin.
Results
Cohort of 40,824 women. Allochthonous women participate less than autochthonous women (41.8% vs. 72.3%) although they have a similar global detection rate to the latter but with differences according to the human development index of their country of origin. Both groups present similar tumour stages on detection (p=.59).
Conclusions
Strategies specifically aimed at the immigrant population are required to improve their participation in breast cancer screening.
