We aimed to examine the degree of socioeconomic inequality in screening mammography among Kurdish women of Iran. Data from the Ravansar Non-Communicable Diseases (RaNCD) Cohort Study were used. A total of 3,219 women aged 35-65 years were studied. The concentration index (CIn) was used to measure the magnitude of socioeconomic-related inequalities in screening mammography. Decomposition analysis was employed to calculate the contribution of each explanatory variable to the observed inequality. The participation rate for screening mammography was 19.7%. The CIn of screening mammography was 0.142 (95% CI: 0.0197, 0.0656), indicating that screening mammography is more concentrated among high-SES women. Socioeconomic status, education level and area of residence were the main contributors to the observed inequality, respectively. We found a pro-rich inequality in screening mammography among Iranian Kurdish women. For mitigating socioeconomic inequality in screening mammography policymakers should focus more on the poor and rural communities.
