This study examined associations between chronic conditions and up-to-date screening for breast, cervical, and colorectal cancer among patients in four rural Oregon clinics (2008–2009). Chart review and logistic regression revealed that patients with three or more chronic conditions were less likely to be current, especially for cervical cancer (OR=0.40, 95% CI: 0.23–0.70). Condition-specific effects varied: cardiovascular disease and depression reduced screening likelihood, while digestive disorders increased it. Findings highlight the need for tailored interventions to improve screening adherence in rural primary care settings. 000000714 540__ $$fCC BY 000000714 542__ $$fIn copyright - single owner 000000714 650__ $$aColorectal Neoplasms$$028197 000000714 650__ $$aRural Population$$025633 000000714 650__ $$aUterine Cervical Neoplasms$$016403 000000714 650__ $$aCervix Uteri$$016404 000000714 650__ $$aMass Screening$$021856 000000714 650__ $$aBreast Neoplasms$$015809 000000714 650__ $$aChronic Disease$$016715 000000714 651__ $$aOregon$$041094 000000714 6531_ $$abreast cancer 000000714 6531_ $$acolorectal cancer 000000714 6531_ $$acancer 000000714 6531_ $$achronic diseases 000000714 691__ $$aSchool of Medicine$$041369 000000714 692__ $$aDepartment of Public Health and Preventive Medicine$$041444 000000714 7001_ $$aLiu, Betty$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000000714 8564_ $$961ebaf58-0db2-48eb-80d2-b49669ee02b9$$s1132220$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/714/files/717_etd.pdf$$ePublic$$2e0b061b369a3a8cb89a76bd2cfdb162d$$31 000000714 905__ $$a/rest/prod/3r/07/4t/94/3r074t94h 000000714 909CO $$ooai:digitalcollections.ohsu.edu:714$$pstudent-work 000000714 980__ $$aTheses and Dissertations
