Centering intersectional breast cancer screening experiences among black, Latina, and white women: a qualitative analysis
Cultural and structural factors appeared to influence participants' approaches to breast cancer screening. Structural barriers may counteract culturally salient beliefs, especially among Black and Latina participants. We suggest patient-centered communication interventions be culturally adjusted and paired with structural changes (e.g., policy, insurance coverage, material resources) to reflect women's nuanced values and intersectional social contexts.
