“…When access to MS facilities was limited, women did not receive the necessary counseling or advising from primary care providers to follow-up after an abnormal MS. These findings indicate that "high neighborhood poverty is especially detrimental to African-Americans and other race/ ethnicities' chances of better outcomes" [35].…”

Although there has been a steady decrease in breast cancer deaths among all women (pooled data) age 40 to 65 years during the past two decades in the United States, breast cancer deaths remain substantially higher among African-American women than White women (32.4% vs. 23.9%), resulting in an overall lower five-year survival rate (78.4% vs. 91.2%). These differences are primarily due to delays in diagnostic follow-up from mammography screening (MS) (ACS, 2012]. Following the secondary research data methods by analyzing the popular medical databases and articles published in the peer-reviewed medical journals in US during 2004-2014 the author would like to explore the Neighborhood-level Influences in Delays in Diagnostic and Follow-up in the Mammography Screening among the African-American Women.

“…The kinscripts that allow some women to work while their mothers and sisters contribute childcare can leave others feeling overburdened and sti ed in their quests for mobility. In addition, an over-reliance on family and close friends may reduce a woman's drive to increase her network size, limiting her access to useful information and resources (Tigges, Browne, and Green 1998).…”

“…This restriction to the locale is in particular assumed for low-income residents who are expected to be more locally oriented in their social contacts, because of their lack in financial or material resources, e.g. to cover larger distances (Briggs, 1997;Dawkins, 2006;Kleit, 2001;MacDonald et al, 2005;Sampson et al, 2002;Small & Newman, 2001;Small, 2007;Tigges et al, 1998). If low-income residents also live in a low-income neighbourhood, this will, consequently, negatively influence the degree to which these residents have access to the different types of resources.…”

Much research in neighbour relations is inspired by two research questions. First, it is necessary to know to which degree social contacts are local and in particular whether local social contacts in disadvantaged neighbourhoods bear an instrumental disadvantage. Second, it is necessary to know whether policies aiming at mixing people from different social and ethnic backgrounds result in more diverse networks and therefore in better opportunities for low-income residents. To address these questions, this paper compares the role of local relationships and the social resources they provide in a low-income neighbourhood and a socio-economic mixed neighbourhood in the Netherlands. Contrary to assumptions in the research literature, residents in the low-income neighbourhood do not differ from their counterparts in the mixed neighbourhood in the degree to which they receive social support for dealing with everyday problems. However, networks of low-income residents provided fewer resources in terms of accessed prestige.
