Breast and Cervical Cancer Screening: Sociodemographic Predictors Among White, Black, and Hispanic Women
Objectives. We evaluated the relationship between breast and cervical cancer screening and a variety of variables across race/ethnicity groups. Methods. Using logistic regression models, we analyzed data from the 1998 National Health Interview Survey to assess the relative importance of the independent variables in predicting use of cancer screening services. Results. Having a usual source of care was the most important predictor of cancer screen…
Hysterectomy Prevalence by Hispanic Ethnicity: Evidence From a National Survey
Objectives. We investigated hysterectomy prevalence among Hispanic women. Methods. We obtained data from 4684 Hispanic women and 20 604 non-Hispanic White women from the 1998–1999 National Health Interview Survey. We calculated nationally representative odds ratios of previous hysterectomy, controlling for confounders. Results. Compared with non-Hispanic White women, the odds ratio for hysterectomy was 0.36 (95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.30, 0…
Employment, job strain, and preterm delivery among women in North Carolina
OBJECTIVES: A population-based case-control study was conducted in central North Carolina to assess the relationship between occupational stress and preterm delivery. METHODS: Four hundred twenty-one women delivering infants before 37 weeks' gestation and 612 women delivering infants at term were interviewed a median of 6 months after delivery. Exposure information was collected for all jobs held for at least 1 month during pregnancy. RESULTS: Wo…
Movement Patterns of Persons With HIV Receiving Treatment in Public Clinics in the Southern Health Region, Puerto Rico
Health planners suspect there is a pattern of movement, dubbed the "air bridge," between Puerto Rico and the continental United States by persons living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) who are seeking health services. The authors tested this hypothesis in publicly supported HlVclinics in the Puerto Rican Southern Health Region (SHR). A survey was conducted of 187 patients who were at least 18 years of age, confirmed HIV positive, and not …
Hysterectomy use: The correspondence between self-reports and hospital records
Studies of the relationship between hysterectomy use and sociodemographic factors tend to use self-reported data. In the current study, data were collected from a representative sample of US women who have been prospectively followed since 1971. Hysterectomy status was obtained by self-report and from hospital records. Although these two measures of hysterectomy were highly related, more women reported hysterectomy than could be confirmed by hosp…
