Variation in cervical cancer screening by region, socio‐economic, migrant and Indigenous status in women in New South Wales

Abstract: The purpose of this study was to estimate the extent of association of cervical screening in NSW women with socio-economic status (SES), rurality, and proportions of non-English speaking background (NESB) and Indigenous status. Data on women who had at least one Pap test over two years (January 1998-December 1999) were obtained from the NSW Pap test Register. Each local government area (LGA) was allocated to categories of population proportions of NESB and Indigenous status, a rurality classification based on … Show more

“…Screening rates are generally lower in Aboriginal women; for example, biennial participation in cervical cancer screening by women in rural and remote communities in Queensland is around 41.1%, which is 30% lower than for the rest of Queensland (Coory et al 2002). In New South Wales, the rate for rural Indigenous women is 29%, compared with a state average of 59% (Wain et al 2001). A longitudinal study in the Northern Territory showed an increase in participation rates in cervical screening from 1997-1998 to 1999-2000 in rural/remote areas, but little change thereafter, and these rates remained lower than for women in NT urban areas and in Australia overall (Binns and Condon 2006).…”

“…While there were a large number of articles addressing cancer in both Aboriginal men and women, the only research focusing on gender targeted Aboriginal women's experiences of cancer (Kirk 1993;McMichael et al 2000;Prior 2005Prior , 2006 or those cancers experienced only or mostly by women, namely breast (Carrick et al 1996;Hall and Holman 2003;Shaw and Elston 2003), ovarian (Laurvick et al 2003) and cervical cancers (Bailie et al 1998;Toussaint et al 1998;Jackson and Ward 2000;O'Brien et al 2000;Wain et al 2001;Coory et al 2002;Angus 2005). This requires redress, as Aboriginal men are likely to have quite particular needs during diagnosis, treatment and care (Duke et al 2001).…”

“…Attendance at screening shows differences between rural and metropolitan areas and between socioeconomic strata 9, 10. In a recent study in the northwest part of The Netherlands, it was shown that, although the overall incidence of cervical carcinoma for the period 1989–1997 was lower compared with the incidence for the previous years, the incidence of cervical carcinoma in women who were born in Morocco and Suriname was significantly higher than the overall incidence in The Netherlands.…”

“…This is corroborated by publications of other developing countriesand among ethnic minorities in developed countries. [15][16][17] Therefore, it is still necessary to study strategies for actions to reach such population subgroups. It is obviously consistent that facilitate the access for cancer prevention tests, and medical assistance is a key point to solve, or at least minimize, the impact of cervical cancer in developing countries.…”
