Has the use of cervical, breast, and colorectal cancer screening increased in the United States?
Abstract
This report describes trends in reported breast, cervical, and colorectal cancer screening within the US population from 1987 to 1992. Data from the 1987 and 1992 Cancer Control Supplements of the National Health Interview Survey were analyzed to determine use of Pap smears by women aged 18+; of mammography and clinical breast examination by women aged 50+; and of proctoscopy, digital rectal examination, and fecal occult blood testing among men and women aged 50+. Use of mammography doubled between 1987 and 1992 while Pap smear use changed very little. Use of the three colorectal cancer screening modalities increased but levels remained low. Usage trends were also assessed in relation to several sociodemographic factors. Disparities in screening reported in 1987 according to income and education persisted in 1992.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
