Evaluating the association between upstream perceived individual and neighborhood determinants of health and intensity of breast cancer screening.

ABSTRACT: Exposure to negative perceived individual and neighborhood determinants disproportionately impacts marginalized groups and can profoundly shape health behavior.

Fifty-two percent of participants had at least 1 mammogram during follow-up. Women
