Racial and/or Ethnic Differences in Adherence to Preventive Care Guidelines among US Adults Using a Nationally Representative Survey of All Eight Major Racial and/or Ethnic Populations.
Article in Journal of racial and ethnic health disparities, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundPreventive care, like cancer screenings, is an effective tool to reduce the risk of morbidity and mortality. Despite these benefits, preventive care is underutilized in the United States and disparities are well-documented. However, preventive care research has largely been limited to Black, Latino, and White populations, and a better understanding of preventive care use across all racial and/or ethnic populations is needed.
methodsThis study used data from the PREVentive Care AdheREnce in Diverse Populations (PREV-CARE) study, a nationally representative, online survey of American Indian or Alaska Native (AIAN), Asian, Black, Latino (English- and Spanish-speaking), Middle Eastern or North African (MENA), Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander (NHPI), White, and multiracial adults aged ≥35 years (6/2023-8/2023, N=4,111). Preventive care measures included blood pressure screening; cholesterol screening; breast, cervical, and colorectal cancer screening; and influenza, shingles vaccination, and pneumococcal vaccination. Multivariable Poisson regression was used to estimate the association between race and/or ethnicity and adherence to preventive services guidelines. Ethnicity-stratified analyses among Asian, Latino, and NHPI participants were also performed.
resultsSeveral disparities in vaccination adherence were observed when compared to White adults, among AIAN (influenza PR: 0.82 [95% CI:0.69-0.98]; shingles PR: 0.76, [0.54-1.08]), Black (shingles PR: 0.75, [0.54-1.06]), Spanish-speaking Latino (pneumococcal PR: 0.78 [0.51-1.19]), MENA (influenza PR: 0.75 [0.62-0.92]), and multiracial adults (influenza PR: 0.84 [0.71-1.00]; shingles PR: 0.53 [0.34-0.81]). MENA females were also less likely to undergo cervical cancer screening (PR: 0.85 [0.62-0.92]). Almost all racial and/or ethnic populations were below Healthy People 2030 targets.
conclusionsFuture research should assess how health beliefs and barriers to care contribute to racial and/or ethnic disparities in preventive care.
