Abstract Background Previous studies have examined the impact of material financial hardship on cancer screening but without focusing on the psychological aspects of financial hardship. Purpose This study examined the effects of different types of financial anxiety on adherence to breast cancer screening in women at high risk of breast cancer. Adherence to cervical cancer screening was also examined to determine whether associations between financial anxiety and screening adherence were unique to breast cancer screening or more general. Methods Women (n = 324) aged 30–50 and at high risk for inherited breast cancer completed a survey on general financial anxiety, worry about affording healthcare, financial stigma due to cancer risk, and adherence to cancer screening. Multivariate analyses controlled for poverty, age, and race. Results More financial anxiety was associated with lower odds of mammogram adherence (odds ratio [OR] = 0.97, confidence interval [CI] = 0.94, 0.99), Pap smear adherence (OR = 0.98, CI = 0.96, 0.996), and clinical breast examination adherence (OR = 0.98, CI = 0.96, 0.995). More worry about affording healthcare was associated with lower odds of clinical breast examination adherence (OR = 0.95, CI = 0.91, 0.9992) but not mammogram or Pap smear adherence (p > .05). Financial stigma due to cancer risk was associated with lower odds of Pap smear adherence (OR = 0.87, CI = 0.77, 0.97) but no other cancer screenings (p > .07). Conclusions Financial anxiety may impede cancer screening, even for high-risk women aware of their risk status. Clinical interventions focused on social determinants of health may also need to address financial anxiety for women at high risk of breast cancer.
