Meeting immigrant health challenges
New York City has traditionally been the portal to America for millions of foreign‐born immigrants. Current immigration echoes this past. Each year, tens of thousands of immigrants and migrants enter New York City. These individuals and families come from diverse cultures and health care systems which continue to impact on their health care needs. How can New York's health care system provide culturally sensitive and epidemiologically informed he…
Cervix and breast cancer incidence in immigrant Caribbean women
Cervix and breast cancer incidence in 1978-82 was computed for immigrant and United States-born Black women in Brooklyn, New York. Compared to the national SEER (Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results) rates, US-born and Haitian women had high rates of invasive cervical cancer, while English-speaking Caribbean immigrants had an average rate. However, while US-born women had an average rate of carcinoma in situ of the cervix, both immigrant gr…
Cervical cancer in immigrant Caribbean women
At a public hospital serving the low-income community in Brooklyn, New York, invasive cervical cancer (ICC) was diagnosed in more advanced stages in Haitian and English-speaking Caribbean immigrants than in US-born Black women. In Brooklyn as a whole, only Haitians had more advanced ICC. Fewer Haitians had preinvasive cancer or ICC detected by a Pap test. Data are consistent with less frequent screening among low-income immigrants
Missed opportunities for early diagnosis of cancer of the cervix
In a low-income community, 52% of new invasive cancer of the cervix arose in women who had no previous Pap smear, while 62% arose in women with no smear within five years. In the previous five years, 73% of the unscreened women had received ambulatory medical care (including 41% who had regular care for chronic conditions), while 16% were hospitalized. Much of the unscreened low-income population could be reached by routine screening in regular a…
