We investigated the utilization of both screening methods across various migrant groups in Germany, as well as the effect of German language proficiency.Cross-sectional data on participation frequencies from the baseline examination (2014 to 2019) of more than 100,000 women of the German National Cohort study (NAKO) were analysed by migrant status. Adjusted logistic regression analyses were conducted for palpation and MSP to compare screening uptake among six migrant groups, and non-migrant population.Palpation of the breast was less frequently utilized in all migrant groups with odds ratios ranging from 0.5 (95% CI 0.4-0.6) for Turkish women to 0.9 for women from western countries (95% CI 0.7-1.1) compared to autochthone Germans. Lower German language proficiency further decreases its use. In contrast, odds ratios for MSP participation did not differ substantially compared to Germans ranging from 0.8 to 1.2. German language proficiency had little effect on MSP participation.In contrast to earlier studies, our findings suggest that MSP participation and motivation does not significantly differ by migration status or language skills. This may indicate that information on MSP is broadly accessible through established invitation procedures in Germany. However, lower uptake of breast palpation by a physician in some migrant populations highlights potential gaps in broader preventive care engagement. 000309619 536__ $$0G:(DE-HGF)POF4-313$$a313 - Krebsrisikofaktoren und Prävention (POF4-313)$$cPOF4-313$$fPOF IV$$x0 000309619 588__ $$aDataset connected to CrossRef, PubMed, , Journals: inrepo02.dkfz.de 000309619 650_7 $$2Other$$aBreast cancer 000309619 650_7 $$2Other$$aBreast palpation 000309619 650_7 $$2Other$$aMammography screening 000309619 650_7 $$2Other$$aMigrants 000309619 650_7 $$2Other$$aParticipation behaviour 000309619 7001_ $$aObi, Nadia$$b1 000309619 7001_ $$aBrand, Tilman$$b2 000309619 7001_ $$0P:(DE-He78)90d5535ff896e70eed81f4a4f6f22ae2$$aBrenner, Hermann$$b3$$udkfz 000309619 7001_ $$aBuschmann, Laura$$b4 000309619 7001_ $$0P:(DE-He78)74a6af8347ec5cbd4b77e562e10ca1f2$$aFortner, Renée T$$b5$$udkfz 000309619 7001_ $$0P:(DE-He78)e0ac0d57cdb66d87f2d95ae5f6178c1b$$aGreiser, Karin Halina$$b6$$udkfz 000309619 7001_ $$aHarth, Volker$$b7 000309619 7001_ $$aHoffmann, Wolfgang$$b8 000309619 7001_ $$aKarch, André$$b9 000309619 7001_ $$aKeil, Thomas$$b10 000309619 7001_ $$aKluttig, Alexander$$b11 000309619 7001_ $$aKrist, Lilian$$b12 000309619 7001_ $$aLeitzmann, Michael$$b13 000309619 7001_ $$aMaun, Andy$$b14 000309619 7001_ $$aMikolajczyk, Rafael$$b15 000309619 7001_ $$aNimptsch, Katharina$$b16 000309619 7001_ $$aPischon, Tobias$$b17 000309619 7001_ $$aSchipf, Sabine$$b18 000309619 7001_ $$aSchmidt, Börge$$b19 000309619 7001_ $$aSchultheiss, Ulla T$$b20 000309619 7001_ $$aSchulze, Matthias$$b21 000309619 7001_ $$aZeeb, Hajo$$b22 000309619 7001_ $$aWiessner, Christian$$b23 000309619 773__ $$0PERI:(DE-600)3049354-7$$a10.1016/j.jmh.2026.100397$$gVol. 13, p. 100397 -$$p100397$$tJournal of migration and health$$v13$$x2666-6235$$y2026 000309619 909CO $$ooai:inrepo02.dkfz.de:309619$$pVDB 000309619 9101_ $$0I:(DE-588b)2036810-0$$6P:(DE-He78)90d5535ff896e70eed81f4a4f6f22ae2$$aDeutsches Krebsforschungszentrum$$b3$$kDKFZ 000309619 9101_ $$0I:(DE-588b)2036810-0$$6P:(DE-He78)74a6af8347ec5cbd4b77e562e10ca1f2$$aDeutsches Krebsforschungszentrum$$b5$$kDKFZ 000309619 9101_ $$0I:(DE-588b)2036810-0$$6P:(DE-He78)e0ac0d57cdb66d87f2d95ae5f6178c1b$$aDeutsches Krebsforschungszentrum$$b6$$kDKFZ 000309619 9131_ $$0G:(DE-HGF)POF4-313$$1G:(DE-HGF)POF4-310$$2G:(DE-HGF)POF4-300$$3G:(DE-HGF)POF4$$4G:(DE-HGF)POF$$aDE-HGF$$bGesundheit$$lKrebsforschung$$vKrebsrisikofaktoren und Prävention$$x0 000309619 9141_ $$y2026 000309619 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0100$$2StatID$$aJCR$$bJ MIGRATION HEALTH : 2022$$d2025-11-11 000309619 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0200$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bSCOPUS$$d2025-11-11 000309619 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0300$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bMedline$$d2025-11-11 000309619 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0320$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bPubMed Central$$d2025-11-11 000309619 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0501$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bDOAJ Seal$$d2025-08-21T14:37:17Z 000309619 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0500$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bDOAJ$$d2025-08-21T14:37:17Z 000309619 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0030$$2StatID$$aPeer Review$$bDOAJ : Anonymous peer review$$d2025-08-21T14:37:17Z 000309619 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0199$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bClarivate Analytics Master Journal List$$d2025-11-11 000309619 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0112$$2StatID$$aWoS$$bEmerging Sources Citation Index$$d2025-11-11 000309619 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0150$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bWeb of Science Core Collection$$d2025-11-11 000309619 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)9900$$2StatID$$aIF < 5$$d2025-11-11 000309619 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0561$$2StatID$$aArticle Processing Charges$$d2025-11-11 000309619 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0700$$2StatID$$aFees$$d2025-11-11 000309619 9201_ $$0I:(DE-He78)C070-20160331$$kC070$$lC070 Klinische Epidemiologie der Krebsfrüherkennung$$x0 000309619 9201_ $$0I:(DE-He78)C020-20160331$$kC020$$lEpidemiologie von Krebs$$x1 000309619 9201_ $$0I:(DE-He78)C180-20160331$$kC180$$lKrebsepidemiologie$$x2 000309619 980__ $$ajournal 000309619 980__ $$aVDB 000309619 980__ $$aI:(DE-He78)C070-20160331 000309619 980__ $$aI:(DE-He78)C020-20160331 000309619 980__ $$aI:(DE-He78)C180-20160331 000309619 980__ $$aUNRESTRICTED
