| The link between HPV and cervical cancer has been established; however, several disparities exist among minority groups that negatively affect adherence to screening and prevention. Opportunities to address the disparities among obese populations, as well as ethnic and cultural minorities, include developing tailored educational materials and alternative sampling methods. Pap tests are not culturally appropriate or cost effective for all populations; methods such as the Fournier self-sampling device or visual inspection with acetic acid may offer needed substitute methods of HPV and cervical cancer screening. The importance of identifying barriers to screening and resolving issues related to access to care and low levels of awareness in high-risk minority populations will be discussed, including findings from studies of the American Indian and Haitian populations in America, as well as high-risk populations in developing countries. | ||||
| Learning Objectives: 1. Describe the recommended cervical cancer screening guidelines. 2. Identify possible differences in screening by BMI, race/ethnicity and culture. 3. Describe important considerations for creating culturally appropriate educational materials for HPV and cervical cancer prevention. 4. Understand the benefit of using alternative methods for cervical cancer screening. | ||||
