“…However, while every country’s healthcare system is different, we believe our study identifies potential opportunities to decrease disparities in the Spanish-speaking Hispanic population regardless of country as well as underscores the need to assess populations on a disaggregate level, as aggregate data often mask disparities [ 20 ]. Further, our study highlights considerations for immigrant health care in general, not limited to the Hispanic population, as health inequity, specifically related to cervical cancer screening, has been observed internationally in non-Hispanic migrant women [ 21 , 22 ].…”

Background The Hispanic population is heterogeneous with differences in health behaviors across subgroups by nativity and preferred language. We evaluated cervical cancer screening adherence among English- and Spanish-speaking Hispanic patients receiving care at a safety net health system. Methods Electronic health records were used to identify 46,094 women aged 30–65. Up to date (UTD) screening was defined based on date of last Pap test, human papillomavirus (HPV) test, or Pap/HPV co-test. Results Overall, 81.5% of 31,297 Hispanic women were UTD. English-speaking Hispanic women had a lower prevalence of being UTD when compared to Spanish-speaking Hispanic women (aPR: 0.94, 95% CI: 0.93 – 0.96). Further, those with indigent healthcare plans had a higher prevalence of being UTD when compared to those with private insurance (aPR: 1.10, 95% CI: 1.09 – 1.12), while all other health insurance plans were associated with lower UTD screening when compared to private insurance. Conclusions These findings suggest screening differences within the Hispanic population, highlighting the need for disaggregated research assessing heterogeneity within racial/ethnic groups, specifically among Hispanic populations.

“…Cervical screening rates in Finland also show differences across language categories (Lamminmäki et al, 2022). While screening attendance was highest among native Finnish speakers (69 %) in 2010-14, other language groups participated less actively.…”
