Description
As in other jurisdictions, (1-11) cancer screening * participation rates among newcomers to Canada (including Asian and Chinese Canadians) are lower than those in the general population. (12-14) Low screening participation rates among women of multi-ethnic groups result in higher morbidity and mortality. (4,15-18) It is well documented that poverty, illiteracy and recent immigration to Canada are three significant factors that influence women's willingness to participate in cervical screening. (12,14) Community organizations and various reports indicate that newcomers to North America identify language, cultural values, socioeconomic issues, modesty or preference for a female physician as significant barriers to screening.
