The general objective of this dissertation is to study breast cancer screening and specifically
social inequalities by social class and country of origin and its relationship with
decreasing mortality. Therefore, four different studies have been done: three with quantitative
methodology and one with qualitative. According to the quasi-experimental study, breast cancer
mortality decreased in Barcelona before the introduction of the population screening program, but
this reduction is more marked after its introduction. According to data from the Spanish National
Health Survey in 2006, there are inequalities in the rate of breast cancer screening according to
country of origin and social class. According to two studies conducted in Barcelona, immigrant
women from low-income countries are less aware, and hence do less, early detection practices,
as they have other priorities and perceive more barriers and taboos. Chinese women are the
immigrants who present more differences with native women, followed by Maghribian and
Philippine women. Place of origin, social class and migration process are key factors in
preventive practices. In conclusion, it is necessary to encourage access to preventive screening
practices for all women and also to undertake specific actions directed at the most vulnerable
groups, taking into account any socio-cultural factors that influence the use of preventive
practices.
