Understanding barriers to breast screening
These findings identify barriers that could be targeted to increase screening uptake including increasing appointment availability and proximity, reinforcing the message that breast screening is a female-only environment as well as developing interventions to reduce and manage pain during breast screening
Evaluation of a Faith‐Placed Health Education Service on Bowel Cancer Screening in Mosques in East London
BACKGROUND: Bowel cancer screening using faecal immunochemical testing is provided in the United Kingdom with the aim of reducing mortality from colorectal cancer. However, there are low participant rates among ethnic minorities across the United Kingdom. Faith-placed interventions have the potential to improve screening rates among such populations, but studies examining their effectiveness are scarce. METHODS: We delivered a presentation on bow…
They say it's more aggressive in black women”
Recent geographical scholarship has drawn attention to the ways in which the practice of public health constructs particular bodies and populations as “risky.” From a biopolitical perspective, this status of being “at risk” offers the basis for an emergent biosociality, groups brought together by a shared vulnerability to disease, which then forms the basis for both state‐led public health interventions and community‐driven advocacy and support. …
Fear, family and the placing of emotion
Evaluating a DVD promoting breast cancer awareness among black women aged 25–50 years in East London
BACKGROUND: The mean age of presentation for breast cancer among black women is substantially earlier than their white counterparts. Black women also present with adverse prognostic factors that have major clinical implications, including lower survival. To pilot the use of a 6 min DVD on breast cancer in young (under 50 years) black women, to raise awareness and examine the impact of the DVD on increased consultation and referral rates among the…
Avoiding bias from aggregate measures of exposure
Background: Sometimes in descriptive epidemiology or in the evaluation of a health intervention policy change, proportions exposed to a risk factor or to an intervention are used as explanatory variables in log-linear regressions for disease incidence or mortality. Aim: To demonstrate how estimates from such models can be substantially inaccurate as estimates of the effect of the risk factor or intervention at individual level. To show how the in…
Dietary intake of soybean protein and menstrual cycle length in pre-menopausal Singapore Chinese women
Background Intake of soybean protein was associated with a reduced risk of breast cancer in a case–control study. It has also been demonstrated to increase menstrual cycle length in an experimental setting. Objective To ascertain whether the association of soybean protein intakes with menstrual cycle length persists in an uncontrolled community setting. Design Cross-sectional food frequency dietary survey, menstrual cycle survey and prospective c…
