Study Description

Brief Summary: The goal of this study is to develop and pilot test an intervention, entitled Health is Wealth: A Cervical Health Program, designed to promote screening and reduce perceived barriers to Cervical Cancer (CC) screening. Aim 1: Examine general awareness and cultural factors (fatalism, religiosity/spirituality, temporal orientation, medical mistrust, and acculturation) related to cancer control and prevention among African Americans (AA) and Sub Saharan African (SAI) Immigrants. Aim 2: Examine the socioecological barriers and facilitators to CC screening and self-sampling to inform tailoring of an evidenced based cervical health program to promote CC screening. Aim 3: Assess feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy in a pilot test of the Health is Wealth: A Cervical Health Program among 30 AA and 30 SAI women using quasi-experimental design. This study will take place in 2 phases.

Detailed Description: In phase 1, the investigators will conduct a cross-sectional survey with 150 Black men and women to examine factors impacting cervical cancer screening. Also, as part of phase 1, Aim 2 employs focus groups and a quantitative Health Belief Model checklist with 30 participants to guide development of a tailored intervention. In phase 2, Aim 3 will assess feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of the Health is Wealth: A Cervical Health Program intervention among 30 African American and 30 Sub-Saharan African immigrant women.
