Conclusion

Immigrants, particularly those from non-Western countries, showed consistently lower attendance in BreastScreen Norway compared to non-immigrant women during the period 2018-2023. Language barriers, personal income and unequal possibilities for patient guidance are factors that might have affected access to mammographic screening for immigrants from non-Western countries (7). Furthermore, discrepancies in health perception and breast cancer awareness could have contributed to the lower attendance among non-Western immigrants (2). A qualitative assessment of the needs of immigrant groups might help improve access to organized mammographic screening.
