Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
Caribbean immigrants (both Hispanics and Blacks from Haiti) are less likely to be screened for cervical cancer than the general population. One promising approach is outreach strategies that employ Community Health Workers (CHWs). Yet even in well structured CHW programs, many women remain unscreened. In our NCI Community Networks sponsored project, we are testing an approach that combines CHWs with self sampling for the human papilloma virus (HPV) as a screening strategy among such hard to reach populations.
