Summary

This trial is looking at how to better promote cervical cancer screening among African American and Sub-Saharan African immigrant women, by looking at what cultural factors may influence their decision making, and then testing a new intervention.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for Black women, either African American or Sub-Saharan African Immigrant, living in Kentucky who haven't had a pap smear in the last three years or a pap/HPV co-test in five. Participants must speak and write English but can't join if they've had a hysterectomy, cervical cancer history, are pregnant, or don't meet the residency and identity criteria.
What is being tested?
The study tests 'Health is Wealth: A Cervical Health Program' aimed at increasing cervical cancer screening rates. It explores cultural attitudes towards health and identifies barriers to screening. The program's feasibility and effectiveness will be pilot tested on 60 women using a quasi-experimental design over two phases.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this intervention focuses on education and promoting screenings rather than medical treatments, there are no direct side effects like those associated with drugs or surgical procedures.
