Mammography screening and risk factor prevalence by sexual identity: A comparison of two national surveys
LGBQ women were more likely than straight women to be exposed to breast cancer risk factors, which were compounded by lower screening and facing health care access barriers. It is crucial to identify interventions for screening and risk reduction that are accessible and effective for LGBQ women, particularly bisexual/queer women and those aging into screen-eligibility.
