Cervical Cancer Screening Interventions for U.S. Latinas: A Systematic Review
Corcoran, Jacqueline; Dattalo, Patrick; Crowley, Meghan
Health & Social Work, v37 n4 p197-205 Nov 2012
The high cervical cancer mortality rate among Latinas compared with other ethnic groups in the United States is of major concern. Latina women are almost twice as likely to die from cervical cancer as non-Hispanic white women. To improve Latina cervical cancer screening rates, interventions have been developed and tested. This systematic review was undertaken to determine the effectiveness of such studies. Studies involving both experimental and quasi-experimental designs were located (N = 6), and odds ratios were calculated for screening behavior. The pooled effect of these programs was negligible, and implications are derived from this finding.
