Patterns in Financial Disparities in Cervical, Bosom, and Colorectal Disease Screening Support among Ladies

Joybin Lugun

This study aims to investigate the evolving trends in socioeconomic disparities pertaining to cervical, breast, and colorectal cancer screening participation among women over the past decade. A systematic analysis of populationbased surveys, health records, and screening program data spanning from 2010 to 2020 was conducted. The study encompassed a diverse cohort of women, stratified by socioeconomic indicators including income, education, and access to healthcare resources. Screening participation rates and trends were assessed, and multivariate regression models were applied to ascertain the impact of socioeconomic determinants on screening behavior.

Our findings reveal a dynamic landscape of socioeconomic disparities in cancer screening participation. Over the study period, while overall screening rates for cervical, breast, and colorectal cancers have shown positive trends, notable disparities persist across socioeconomic strata. Lower-income women consistently exhibit lower participation rates, particularly in colorectal cancer screening. Education level emerged as a significant predictor, with higher educational attainment associated with increased screening uptake across all three cancer types. Access to healthcare resources, including proximity to screening facilities and insurance coverage, played a pivotal role in screening differentials, with women facing barriers to access exhibiting reduced participation. This comprehensive analysis underscores the enduring challenge of socioeconomic inequalities in cancer screening participation among women. Despite overall improvements in screening rates, disparities persist, disproportionately affecting lower-income and less-educated populations. Efforts to mitigate these inequities should focus on targeted interventions, including enhanced accessibility to screening facilities, culturally sensitive educational initiatives, and policies aimed at reducing financial barriers. Additionally, tailored outreach programs and community engagement strategies are imperative to address the multifaceted determinants of screening behavior. By addressing these disparities, we can make significant strides towards achieving equitable access to life-saving cancer screening services for all women, regardless of their socioeconomic status.
