Lower cancer screeningrates differ by region, tied to social vulnerability UTHealth JAMA_current jamanetworkopen
"We found that counties with higher SVI scores had significantly lower screening rates for all three types of cancer," Suk said."These findings suggest that geographically targeted public health interventions could be further informed and improved by a composite measure reflecting the multidimensional measure of area-level social determinants of health."
The population-based, cross-sectional study used county-level information from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's PLACES and SVI data sets from 2018 for the counties. Analyses were conducted from October 2021 to February 2022.The likelihood of having a cancer screening in the most vulnerable counties compared with the least vulnerable counties was 14% lower for breast cancer, 20% lower for cervical cancer, and 28% lower for colorectal cancer.
Generally, all three cancer screening rates were higher among counties on the east and west coasts and lower in the South.
