A qualitative assessment of the acceptability of human papillomavirus self-sampling and informational materials among diverse populations.

Background: Disparities in cervical cancer screening rates among marginalized groups is a driver of inequalities in cervical cancer. Self-sampling for human papillomavirus (HPV) testing is a newly emerging alternative to clinician-performed testing to screen for cervical cancer, and has high potential to reduce screening barriers in under-screened and marginalized groups. We study the acceptability in of HPV self-sampling and informational materials among Black/African American, Hispanic/Spanish speaking, American Indian/Alaska Native and transgender/nonbinary populations.

Impact of Medicaid expansion and state-level racial diversity on breast cancer endocrine therapy prescriptions: A quasi-experimental, comparative interrupted time series study.

Aims: To determine whether Medicaid expansion impacted racially more diverse states similarly as racially less diverse states in endocrine therapy (ET) prescriptions.

Methods: A quasi-experimental, comparative interrupted time series study of Medicaid-financed ET prescriptions from 2011 to 2018 Medicaid State Drug Utilization Database. The exposures were state's Medicaid expansion and racial diversity status.
