ForwardWMJ Vol 123 Issue 5: Development of Cervical Cancer Prevention Workshops for Hmong and Karenni Women Through a Community-Academic Partnership
ABSTRACT
Background: In the United States, Southeast Asian immigrant and refugee women face many barriers to cervical cancer screening. This work describes and evaluates the use of community health workers and community-based participatory research in providing community-level interventions through a community-academic partnership to address these barriers.
Methods: Community advisory board members and mother–daughter dyads were recruited to help develop and refine cervical cancer educational materials.
Results: Feedback from 9 community advisory board members and 5 mother-daughter dyads identified areas for improvement to increase cultural sensitivity of materials and ensure the equity of voices during discussions.
Conclusions: Through this community-academic partnership, we developed cervical cancer prevention educational materials and workshops for Southeast Asian immigrant and refugee communities to serve as a resource to future cervical cancer screening programs.
Intended Audience
The intended audience for this continuing education activity is healthcare professionals caring for the people of Wisconsin and beyond.
