Summary

The purpose of this study is to find out the impact of the involvement of an influential person(s) (e.g., spouse, partners, parents, children, friends) on Pap test screening intention and behaviors, Pap test self-efficacy, and perceived benefits and barriers to Pap test screening among Chinese American immigrant women. These data specific to the impact of the involvement of an influential person on Pap test screening could be used to develop successful cancer prevention programs that target the specific needs of Chinese populations.

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

family-based intervention

The participants will identify their accompanying influential person(s) (e.g., spouse, partners, parents, children, friends) with whom they will be attending the 1.5-2 hour face-to-face education session on cervical cancer and screening. At the end of the intervention, time will be allowed for questions, as well as distributing fridge magnets and a pamphlet. Fridge magnets contain Pap test guidelines and availability of local clinics. The pamphlet covers the following topics: (a) information about female anatomy and cervical cancer, (b) risk factors for cervical cancer, (c) facts of cervical cancer incidence and mortality, and screening rates among American women, (d) methods to reduce cervical cancer (e.g., HPV vaccination), (e) Pap test procedure, (f) Pap test guidelines, and (g) availability of clinics and cost of Pap test. The participants will be encouraged to spread the message to family members and friends.
