Abstract

Cancer screening rates among immigrant and refugee populations in high income countries is significantly lower than native born populations. The objective of this study is to systematically review the effectiveness of interventions to improve screening adherence for breast, cervical and colorectal cancer among Somali immigrants. A literature search was conducted for the years 2000-2021 and eight studies met eligibility criteria. The following intervention components were found to increase adherence to cervical cancer screening: home HPV test, educational workshop for women and education for general practitioners. A patient navigator intervention was found to increase screening for breast cancer. Educational workshops motivated or increased knowledge regarding cancer screening for breast, cervical and colorectal cancer. However, most of the studies had limitations due to methodology with potential for introduction of bias. Therefore, future studies comparing effectiveness of specific intervention components to reduce disparities in cancer screening among Somali immigrants and refugees are encouraged.

提高美国和欧洲索马里移民癌症筛查依从性的干预措施：系统回顾。

在高收入国家，移民和难民的癌症筛查率明显低于本地出生人口。本研究的目的是系统回顾干预措施对提高索马里移民坚持乳腺癌、宫颈癌和结直肠癌筛查的有效性。我们对 2000-2021 年的文献进行了检索，有八项研究符合资格标准。研究发现，以下干预措施可提高宫颈癌筛查的依从性：家庭 HPV 检测、针对妇女的教育研讨会和针对全科医生的教育。研究发现，患者导航员干预措施可提高乳腺癌筛查率。教育讲习班激发了对乳腺癌、宫颈癌和结肠直肠癌筛查的兴趣或增加了相关知识。不过，大多数研究都存在方法上的局限性，有可能造成偏差。因此，鼓励今后开展研究，比较具体干预措施对减少索马里移民和难民癌症筛查差异的效果。
