- W2769709042 abstract "6559 Background: Racial disparities in cervical cancer mortality are well-documented. The Deep South Network for Cancer Control (DSNCC) was implemented in 2000 to address this disparity by targeting blacks for cervical cancer screening in historically underserved areas of Alabama and Mississippi. We aimed to assess whether the implementation of the DSNCC has improved cervical cancer mortality among black females in Alabama. Methods: We used data from the University of Alabama-Birmingham (UAB) Comprehensive Cancer Center Tumor Registry, which comprises all cancer cases treated in the UAB Health system. We selected all black females diagnosed with cervical cancer in the pre-DSNCC (January 1995-December 1999) and post-DSNCC (January 2001-December 2005) periods. Person time was calculated for up to five years post diagnosis. We estimated hazard ratios (HRs) and corresponding 95% confidence limits (CLs) using Cox proportional hazards models. The cervical cancer mortality rate of black females who resided in DSNCC-targeted Alabama counties was compared to non-DSNCC-targeted Alabama counties before and after implementation of the DSNCC. Results: The study population comprised 129 black females diagnosed with cervical cancer pre-DSNCC and 175 diagnosed post-DSNCC. During the pre-intervention period, black females in DSNCC-targeted counties had a two-fold higher cervical cancer mortality rate than black females in non-DSNCC-targeted counties (HR=2.0; 95%CL: 1.10, 3.72). During the post-intervention period, black females in DSNCC-targeted counties had nearly a two-fold lower cervical cancer mortality rate than black females in non-DSNCC-targeted counties (HR=0.54; 95%CL: 0.35, 0.87). Conclusions: Our results suggest that the DSNCC interventions are improving cervical cancer outcomes among black females in historically underserved areas of Alabama. The current analysis was only able to examine the initial 5 years after implementation of the DSNCC; continued assessment of outcomes would be useful for assessing the long-term impact of the DSNCC." @default.
