AI Article Synopsis
- This study explores the link between race/ethnicity and the frequency of mammograms among women with intellectual disabilities (ID).
- Findings show that Hispanic and Black women with ID are more likely to have mammograms every 2 years compared to their White counterparts.
- Factors such as living in state-funded residences, being over 50, and having mild to moderate ID increase the likelihood of receiving mammograms, highlighting the need for further research on disparities among different racial/ethnic groups.
Article Abstract
Little information exists on the associations between intellectual disability (ID) and race/ethnicity on mammogram frequency. This study collected survey and medical record data to examine this relationship. Results indicated that Hispanic and Black women with ID were more likely than White women with ID to have mammograms every 2 years. Participants who live in a state-funded residence, were aged 50+, and had a mild or moderate level of ID impairment were more likely to undergo mammography compared to participants living with family or alone, were <50, and had severe ID impairment. Further research is needed to understand the mechanisms explaining disparities in mammograms between these racial/ethnic groups.
