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.
