AB  - As a result of relocation and displacement, refugees are at an increased risk of experiencing inadequate reproductive health care and are likely to underutilize available reproductive health resources. Inadequate reproductive care increases the risk of unintended pregnancies, preterm births, sexually transmitted infections, sexual violence, and lower breast and cervical cancer screening rates. This Doctor of Nursing practice capstone project paper outlines how the Multnomah County Health Department partnered with the Center for African Health and Education to increase Somali refugee breast cancer awareness and improve access to reproductive health services through a culturally congruent education session. Rooted in a Community Based Participatory Research approach, this project began by focusing on a topic of need within the community and involved community partners in the development of the session. Through a series of participant surveys, data results show that education sessions are an effective group reproductive health education method. Interventions for this project are easily adaptable for other refugee health-focused education sessions.
