NCL Cancer Screening Inequality Analysis Camden Jan 2022 Report

New analysis on cancer screening inequality (January 2022)
The Camden and Islington Public Health Intelligence team has recently completed an equity analysis to explore existing disparities in cancer screenings looking at the North Central London population groups before the COVID-19 pandemic.
This analysis highlights the differences in both bowel screening coverage and cervical screening coverage between certain groups (for example, by gender, age, race/ethnicity and disability status) and GP practice level. There is also an association with deprivation, and lower bower screening coverage is seen in those who smoke, those who are obese, and those with a mental health condition (both depression or severe mental health).
This analysis will help identify opportunities for local strategies and prevention to help improve overall cancer screening, and reduce inequity gaps.

近期，卡姆登和伊林顿公共卫生情报团队对癌症筛查不平等问题进行了新分析（2022年1月）。该分析旨在探讨新冠疫情爆发前，北伦敦中部地区人口群体在癌症筛查方面存在的差异。研究突显了特定群体（例如，按性别、年龄、种族/民族和残疾状况分类）以及在不同家庭医生诊所水平上的肠癌筛查和宫颈癌筛查覆盖率的差异。此外，研究还发现，贫困程度与筛查覆盖率之间存在关联，吸烟者、肥胖者和患有心理健康状况（包括抑郁症或严重心理健康问题）的人群的肠癌筛查覆盖率较低。此次分析有助于识别地方策略和预防措施的机会，以改善整体癌症筛查，并缩小不平等差距。
