Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Epidemiology
  • Health Services Research

Background:

  • Cervical cancer screening through Pap tests is crucial for early detection.
  • Understanding Pap test utilization across diverse populations is vital for health equity.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze disparities and temporal changes in self-reported Pap test rates among migrant women in Australia.
  • To compare Pap test uptake between 1989/90 and 1995 Australian National Health Surveys (NHS).

Main Methods:

  • Utilized unit record data from the 1989/90 and 1995 Australian National Health Surveys (NHS).
  • Examined 'ever had a Pap test' and 'had a Pap test within three years' outcomes.
  • Analyzed data by country of birth and language spoken at home, using logistic regression.

Main Results:

  • Women born in Southern Europe, Italy, the Middle East, and South-East Asia reported lower rates of ever having a Pap test compared to Australian-born women.
  • Overall reported Pap test rates increased significantly from 1989/90 to 1995 across most groups, including non-English speakers.
  • Lower rates of recent Pap testing (within three years) were observed for women from the UK, Middle East, Greece, and South-East Asia.

Conclusions:

  • Significant variations in Pap test behavior exist based on country of birth in Australia.
  • Improvements in reported Pap test screening rates were observed between 1989/90 and 1995 for most migrant groups.
