Abstract A58: Interaction of diabetes and obesity in postmenopausal breast cancer risk among black women
Conclusions: In this large case-control study among black women, we found the first evidence suggesting a significant inverse association between diabetes and postmenopausal breast cancer risk. Future studies are needed to confirm our findings and to evaluate the underlying mechanisms, particularly regarding metformin use.Citation Format: Maureen Sanderson, Loren Lipworth, David Shen-Miller, Martha J.

Abstract A80: The Affordable Care Act dependent coverage expansion and cancer stage at diagnosis among young adults in the United States
Conclusions: These early observations suggest positive benefits of the ACA-DCE in cancer stage at diagnosis among young adults 19-25 years old. Monitoring cancer outcomes in populations targeted by the ACA will be important for assessing the short- and long-term effects of the policy on population health.Citation Format: Ka Zang Xiong, Ahmedin Jemal, Xuesong Han.

Abstract B85: Breast and cervical cancer screening among Hispanic and Asian subgroups in the United States: Estimates from the National Health Interview Survey, 2008, 2010 and 2013
Conclusions: Among Hispanic women, mammography use was comparable across subgroups while Pap test use varied. Among Asian women, Pap test use differed by subgroup and mammography use did not. These data suggest certain ethnic and racial subgroups may have different barriers to screening that vary by usual source of care, insurance status, length of residency, and screening type. These findings offer insights that may be valuable for culturally tailored efforts to promote cancer screening within subgroups of Hispanic and Asian women.Citation Format: Meredith L. Shoemaker, Mary C. White. Breast and cervical cancer screening ...

Abstract B90: Predictors of HPV vaccine initiation and completion among Hispanic mothers of 11-17 year old daughters living along the Texas-Mexico border
Conclusions: Findings suggest mothers who spoke English, had health insurance, and reported having good health were at lower odds of vaccine initiation. Also, mothers with health insurance also had lower odds of series completion. Mothers who participated in the program compared to the brochure only group were more likely to initiate and complete the vaccine series. These findings assist in identifying appropriate intervention strategies to enhance vaccine initiation in border communities at risk for cervical cancer.Citation Format: Daisy Y. Morales-Campos, Deborah A. Parra-Medina. Predictors of HPV vaccine initiation and ...

Tobacco and epidemiology in Korea: old tricks, new answers?
The National Health Insurance Service (NHIS) of Korea provides health insurance for over 90% of the population. The prevalence of smoking among Korean men is one of the highest in developed countries, and cancer incidence and mortality rates are the highest among all Asian countries.1 The NHIS has taken legal action against Korean and international tobacco companies and recently suffered a blow at the Supreme Court.2 This has attracted comment in Korean epidemiology journals.3 4 The familiarity of the issues from the history of epidemiology in Europe and America make the case disturbing and deserving of international atten...

Association between periodontitis and medical expenditure in older adults: A 33 ‐month follow‐up study
ConclusionsA significant association was found between periodontitis and future increase in medical expenditure, suggesting that periodontitis might be a modifiable factor for the reduction of excess medical expenditure among elderly Japanese. Geriatr Gerontol Int 2016; 16: 856–864.

Health literacy and the use of healthcare services in Belgium
Conclusion The results partly confirm that low health literacy is associated with greater use of healthcare services, and especially of more specialised services. Improving the health literacy of the population can be an effective strategy to promote a more (cost)-effective use of the healthcare services and thus contribute to population health.

Incidence and Survival After In-Hospital Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation in Nonelderly Adults: US Experience, 2007 to 2012 Original Articles
Conclusions— Among nonelderly adults, survival after ICPR improved significantly from 2007 through 2012, with an overall survival rate of 30.4%. Incidence of ICPR increased significantly during the study period. There was no statistically significant change in survival before and after 2010 cardiopulmonary resuscitation guidelines. Female sex and black race were associated with higher and lower odds of survival, respectively.

Abstract C30: Mortality Differences in Younger and Older Breast Cancer Patients according to Insurance, Race/Ethnicity, and Neighborhood Socioeconomic Status in the California Cancer Registry
Conclusions: Our results show differences in total mortality associated with important sociodemographic factors comparing younger to older breast cancer patients. Specifically, higher risks of dying were observed for non-privately vs. privately insured patients and for Blacks vs. NHWs in younger compared to older women, even after accounting for clinical and other sociodemographic factors. These results suggest that access to care is possibly a more important driver in mortality outcome in younger vs. older women, and additional analyses will evaluate the extent to which treatment explains these differences. The findings a...

Abstract C62: Receipt of cervical cancer screening among women with access to care and other chronic diseases
Conclusion: When we examined factors related to cervical cancer screening among women who reported having health insurance and access to a regular doctor or healthcare provider, a larger proportion of women with multiple chronic diseases reported not receiving the recommended screening for cervical cancer. The results of this study underscore the importance of examining the relationship between having multiple chronic diseases and specific barriers to cervical cancer screening. Additional research is recommended to determine if physicians and other health care providers can effectively balance managing patients' chronic di...

Health insurance coverage, neonatal mortality and caesarean section deliveries: an analysis of vital registration data in Colombia
Conclusions Health insurance through the contributory system is associated with lower neonatal mortality than insurance through the subsidised system or lack of insurance. Universal health insurance may not be sufficient to close the gap in newborn mortality between socioeconomic groups.
