Because @entity28 is a grave public health concern, this study examined the percentage of disadvantaged @entity1 who recalled ever having received @entity353 advice from a healthcare provider and factors associated with such advice. This study was part of a 5-clinic, cervical @entity5 prevention trial. @entity1 not immediately post-partum completed a Spanish/English survey; height and weight were also obtained. Of the 3,149 respondents (response rate 83%), 2,138 (68%) were overweight or @entity28 (body mass index (BMI)  >=   25); 94% reported a household income of < 35,000/year; 69% were Hispanic; 10% @entity7864 ; and 40% completed the survey in Spanish. Only one-third reported ever having been told to lose weight. Based on BMI, these rates were 15% in the 25-29.9 range (overweight); 34% within 30-34.9; 57% within 35-39.9; and 73%  >=   40. In univariate analyses, among overweight @entity1 , @entity6 or English-speaking was associated with @entity353 advice. In multivariate analyses, being older, more educated, and @entity6 were associated with such advice. 48% of non-Hispanic whites, 31% of @entity7864 , and 29% of Hispanic had a home scale. Among disadvantaged @entity1 , @entity28 alone does not determine who recalls @entity353 advice. Language barriers and lack of a home scale merit further study to address @entity28 .
