Introduction

Mammogram uptake and colorectal cancer (CRC) screening are influenced by racially biased healthcare experiences and presence of chronic conditions; moreover, there is racially/ethnically disparate uptake of each. The current study aimed to expand on extant literature by examining the association between racially biased healthcare experiences and chronic conditions across three racial/ethnic groups.

Methods

We conducted weighted multivariable logistic regressions to examine the interaction between chronic conditions (none, cancer, other chronic conditions) and racially biased healthcare experiences (none, better, worse, other) on mammogram and CRC screening adherence across three racial/ethnic groups (non-Hispanic White [NHW], non-Hispanic Black [NHB], Hispanic/non-Hispanic Other [NHO]) using 2022 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System data.

Results

Among 42,053 and 86,033 eligible respondents for mammogram and CRC screening, most respondents had an up-to-date mammogram (77.4%) or CRC test (67.0%). In adjusted analysis, Hispanic/NHO respondents with conditions other than cancer and felt they were treated worse than other races while seeking healthcare had a decreased odds of having an up-to-date mammogram (OR 0.21, 95% CI 0.09–0.46). NHW respondents with cancer who felt they were treated better than other races while seeking healthcare had increased odds of having an up-to-date mammogram (OR 1.70, 95% CI 1.11–2.60). All significant associations (i.e., p < 0.05) between chronic conditions and CRC screening were positive, regardless of treatment while seeking healthcare across racial/ethnic groups.

Conclusions

Culturally sensitive interventions aimed at improving patient-centered communication may improve mammogram and CRC screening adherence, particularly for racially/ethnically minoritized groups.
