Summary

The purpose of this study is to gain information about intravaginal practices, like intravaginal "twalet deba", among Haitian women living in South Florida. Intravaginal "twalet deba" may include douching, cleaning inside the vagina with different kinds of products, or using steam/vapor that enter the vagina. The investigators want to help learn the best way to increase early detection and/or prevention for cervical cancer. The investigators would like to know what plants, herbs, commercial products and medicines are used in these practices, how these products are prepared, applied, why these products are used, and how these products affect the vagina and cervix.
