Proposed Project
Intervention Development to Increase Cervical Cancer Screening
Among Mexican American Women: Phase 2--New--National Center for Chronic
Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Differences in incidence of invasive cervical cancer exist among
some minority populations. Among women
[[Page 77759]]
older than age 29, cervical cancer incidence for Hispanic women was
approximately twice that for non-Hispanic women. Papanicolaou (Pap)
tests can prevent 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 refine a multi-component
behavioral intervention delivered by lay health workers to increase
cervical cancer screening among U.S. and foreign-born Mexican women.
The proposed study will use personal interviews and workshops. There
will be no cost to respondents other than their time.
