Proposed Project

Intervention Development to Increase Cervical Cancer Screening Among Mexican American Women: Phase 2NewNational 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 nonHispanic women. Papanicolaou (Pap) tests can prevent cervical cancer. Nevertheless, recent studies suggest that Hispanic women in the United States and Puerto Rico underuse cervical cancer screening tests. Additionally, survey data have shown that Hispanic women in the international border region of the United States underutilize these Pap tests compared to nonHispanic 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 multicomponent behavioral intervention delivered by lay health workers to increase cervical cancer screening among U.S. and foreignborn Mexican women. The proposed study will use personal interviews and workshops. There will be no cost to respondents other than their time.
