“…Some Pakistani women reaching a certain age might alternate between living in Norway and Pakistan for longer periods and thus do not attend the screening programme. 36 To our surprise, we found higher attendance in the control group than in the study group among prevalent invited women born in Pakistan. The number of women invited was small-152 in the study group and 177 in the control group.…”

Objective To explore attendance at organised mammographic screening among immigrant groups that received an invitation letter and information leaflet (invitation) in their language of origin and Norwegian compared with Norwegian only. Design Randomised controlled trial. Setting Population based screening programme for breast cancer in Norway (BreastScreen Norway), which invites women aged 50-69 to two-view mammographic screening biennially. Participants All women invited to BreastScreen Norway in the study period April 2021 to June 2022 whose language of origin was Arabic (women born in Algeria, Egypt, Lebanon, Iraq, Palestine, Sudan, Syria, Tunisia, or Morocco), English (women born in the Philippines), Polish (women born in Poland), Somali (women born in Somalia), or Urdu (women born in Pakistan) (n=11 347). Intervention The study group received an invitation to screening in their language of origin and in Norwegian, whereas the control group received an invitation in Norwegian only during the study period. Main outcome measure Attendance at BreastScreen Norway during the study period. Results Overall attendance was 46.5% (2642/5683) in the study group and 47.4% (2682/5664) in the control group. No statistical differences in attendance were observed after stratification by language of invitation, age at invitation, or years since immigration. Conclusions No difference in attendance was observed between immigrant women invited to BreastScreen Norway in their language of origin and in Norwegian compared with Norwegian only. Several barriers to cancer screening may exist among immigrants, and translating the invitation is probably only a part of a complex explanation. Trial registration NCT04672265.ClinicalTrials.gov NCT04672265 .

“…Hodan har videre begrenset kapasitet for transnasjonal mobilitet på grunn av helsemessige utfordringer. Dette er i tråd med en studie på eldre norsk-pakistanere som viser at skrøpelig helse gjør at mange eldre migranter blir stedbundne (Bjerke 2017). Dette mønsteret med få returbesøk speiles også i en studie av somaliere i Norge, og den viser at kun tjuefire prosent har vaert på et besøk til Somalia (Vrålstad and Wiggen 2017, 47).…”
