Abstract

Vietnamese American women (VAW) experience cervical cancer diagnoses and death rates that are twice as high as non-Hispanic White women, with later-stage diagnoses compared to other ethnic groups. The Papanicolaou (Pap) test is underutilized among VAW, with only 37-80% having ever been screened and 68% screened in the past three years, which falls below Healthy People 2010 Objectives. The study aims of the descriptive cross-sectional community-based participatory research (CBPR) include: (1) examining the association between awareness, knowledge, confidentiality issues, beliefs about cervical cancer and Pap testing, influencing factors, and quality of care with Pap test receipt and adherence; (2) exploring the relationship between knowledge of the HPV vaccine and Pap test participation; and (3) describing community resources. The research involved translating study instruments with input from a Vietnamese bilingual investigator and community members.
