Prior studies have found racial and ethnic disparities in cancer screenings, yet smaller minority ethnic groups are often aggregated.

Methods

Data from the 2021-2022 Community Health Resources and Needs Assessment (Cancer CHRNA) and the 2017-2020 NYC Community Health Survey (CHS) examined the prevalence of breast, cervical, and colorectal cancer screenings among Eastern European, Afro-Caribbean, Latine, Chinese, Korean, South Asian, and Southwest Asian and North African (SWANA) groups in New York City. Multivariable logistic regression models estimated adjusted relative risks of cancer screening outcomes by group.

Results
