Abstract
To examine the relationship between age, race, ethnicity, education, insurance coverage, and income and use of cancer screening services. We used a population-based sample (N=1863) from a community randomized intervention study that took place in eastern Washington State. Pap testing was directly associated with having public health insurance (vs private coverage), and having a high income (>$35,000 vs < or = $15,000). Having Medicare coverage was predictive of having had a mammogram or sigmoidoscopy/colonoscopy screening, but not an FOBT. Our findings may reflect age-dependent factors that influence access to health care.
