Prevalence and sociodemographic correlates of routine breast cancer screening practices among migrant-Australian women.

CONCLUSION: These findings indicate suboptimal BCS rates persist among migrant-Australian women, and suggest the importance of certain sociodemographic factors in BCS practice. Implications for public health: Further education is required for BA and CBE practice in immigrant-Australian women, especially for those who have resided in Australia less than 12 years without a partner.
