Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
The purpose of this study is to expand the reach of an existing cervical cancer literacy and prevention intervention- the Sexual Health Empowerment (SHE) Project . As a logical extension of the investigators earlier work, the objective of this renewal is to expand reach of SHE to address women's health disparities more broadly to create a sustainable model for dissemination of health promotion interventions for vulnerable populations.
