南部农村黑人妇女促进经济和社会正义倡议和人权观察社的一份报告强调,密西西比三角洲地区的黑人妇女面临高得不成比例的宫颈癌死亡率。 A report by the Southern Rural Black Women's Initiative for Economic and Social Justice and Human Rights Watch highlights that black women in Mississippi's Delta region face disproportionately high cervical cancer death rates. 密西西比州的宫颈癌死亡率是美国最高的,黑人妇女死于宫颈癌的几率几乎高出1.5倍。 Mississippi has the highest cervical cancer death rate in the U.S., with black women being nearly 1.5 times more likely to die from it. 报告查明了造成这些差异的因素,如不能充分获得医疗保健、种族主义和缺乏扩大医疗援助计划。 The report identifies barriers such as inadequate access to healthcare, racism, and lack of Medicaid expansion as factors contributing to these disparities.
