5102.0 Cervical cancer screening, treatment, and disparities in minority and rural women

Wednesday, October 31, 2012: 8:30 AM - 10:00 AM
Oral
Cervical cancer disproportionately affects minority, uninsured, and underserved women. Vaccines are available to prevent HPV infection; however, cervical cancer disparities still exist. Panelists will discuss findings related to HPV in racial and ethnic minority women, a community-based participatory project for Latina women, and the roles of acculturation and medical mistrust in cervical cancer prevention behavior. The relationship between minority women’s HPV knowledge and vaccination behaviors will be discussed to inform possible interventions related to HPV knowledge and vaccine uptake. Strategies to improve access to cervical cancer prevention for underserved women will be presented.
Session Objectives: Identify barriers to cervical cancer prevention and control for racial and ethnic minority women Describe innovative program evaluation strategies to improve cervical cancer screening outcomes
