To examine whether Pap smear screening and determinants of screening for Asian immigrants are different from those for nonimmigrants in Canada.
Data from the Canadian Community Health Survey Cycle 2.1 (2003) were used. Explanatory and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to compare rates and determinants of Pap smear screening between Asian immigrants and nonimmigrants.
In this study, 64,604 women were included. Asian immigrants had significantly lower rates of Pap smear screening (52%) compared to nonimmigrants (72%). Lack of necessity and time are important barriers.
Pap smear screening should be promoted, particularly in recent Asian immigrants.
研究加拿大亚洲移民的巴氏涂片筛查及其筛查决定因素是否与非移民不同。
使用加拿大社区健康调查第2.1轮(2003年)的数据。进行解释性和多变量逻辑回归分析,以比较亚洲移民和非移民之间巴氏涂片筛查的比率和决定因素。
本研究纳入了64,604名女性。与非移民(72%)相比,亚洲移民的巴氏涂片筛查率显著较低(52%)。缺乏必要性和时间是重要障碍。
应推广巴氏涂片筛查,特别是在近期的亚洲移民中。
