Proposed Project
Intervention Development to Increase Cervical Cancer Screening
Among Mexican Women: Phase 2--New--National Center for Chronic Disease
Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC).
Background
Differences in incidence of invasive cervical cancer exist among
some minority populations. Among women older than 29 years cervical
cancer incidence for Hispanic women is approximately twice that for
non-Hispanic women. Papanicolaou (Pap) tests can help detect cervical
cancer. Nevertheless, recent studies suggest that Hispanic women in the
United States and Puerto Rico under-use cervical cancer screening
tests. Additionally, survey data have shown that Hispanic women in the
international border region of the United States under-utilize these
Pap tests compared to non-Hispanic women in the same region. The need
exists to increase Pap test screening among Hispanic women living in
the United States.
The purpose of this project is to develop and validate a multi-
component behavioral intervention to increase cervical cancer screening
among U.S. and foreign-born Mexican women. The proposed study will use
focus groups and personal interviews. There will be no cost to
respondents.
