Abstract
Introduction: Cancer screening researchers have long observed that Latinas are less likely to be mammogram adherent, but little is understood how this varies by citizenship status. Methods: Logistic regression analysis. The sample size was weighed according to CDC specifications. There were 1002 latina women in the sample. The 2016 National Health Interview Survey was utilized. Results: Compared to naturalized Latina women, both U.S. citizen and non-citizen Latina women are less likely to be mammogram adherent (p Findings: Cancer screening researchers benefit from disaggregating Latina ethnicity by citizenship status to develop more tailored interventions regarding mammogram adherence in this population. This study points to the need for policy makers to advocate for Latina populations impacted by insurance coverage disparities. Citation Format: Roman B. Johnson, Sejong Bae.
