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.
