Proposed Project
Increasing Cervical Cancer Screening in Never or Rarely Screened
Black Women: Phase 1--New--National Center for Chronic Disease
Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC).
Black women in the United States have higher incidence of cervical
cancer than White women and higher mortality from cervical cancer than
White women. Cancer mortality data from 1974-1994 for Black women show
stable, geographic patterns of cervical cancer mortality predominantly
in the southeastern part of the United States. While screening rates of
Black women are shown to be similar to White women, subgroups of Black
women may remain unscreened or under-screened (more than three years
since the last Pap test), specifically those who are medically
uninsured or underinsured or live in rural areas of the country.
Screening rates are particularly low for women without access to health
care.
The purpose of this project is to conduct formative research to
better understand why some Black women ages 50 to 64 do not participate
in cervical cancer screening. The proposed study will use focus groups
and personal interviews to gather information that will be used to
guide future intervention strategies to increase cervical cancer
screening in never or rarely screened Black women. There is no cost to
respondents except their time to participate. The estimated annualized
burden is 158 hours.
