“…[16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26] A focus on uninsured and Spanish-speaking Latinas, however, is warranted, 27 as they comprise a substantial proportion of the adult Latino/a population (47% and 34%-50%, respectively). 9,28 Among Latinos who are primarily Spanish-speaking, 61% do not have health insurance, 9 placing them at risk for nonadherence to screening recommendations.…”

Such an investigation is reasonable because the majority of Latinos live in urban areas.…”

“…An insufficient amount of attention has been devoted to establishing the construct validity of cancer fatalism. Some measures of cancer fatalism, for example, include items tapping other constructs, such as fear [15,16] and religious attributions concerning cancer as God's punishment [17], precluding any conclusion about the specific effects of fatalism on screening. Fourth, despite evidence that Latinos simultaneously hold fatalistic and optimistic beliefs about cancer screening and survival [10,11,[18][19][20] almost no research explores alternative, culturally-based belief systems that might explain these findings.…”
