Historic Redlining Practices Cast a Long Shadow on Cancer Screening Rates
A new study shows that people who live in historically redlined areas have lower screening rates for breast cancer, cervical cancer, and colorectal cancer
Association of Historical Redlining and Present-Day Social Vulnerability with Cancer Screening DOI: 10.1097/XCS.0000000000000779
Conclusion: Redlining as a surrogate for structural racism continues to adversely impact cancer screening. Policies that aim to make access to preventive cancer care more equitable for historically marginalized communities should be a public priority.
