| Abstract: |
BACKGROUND: Cervical cancer incidence rates are higher among Vietnamese American women than among any other race/ethnic group in the United States. High rates of cervical cancer are associated with low rates of Papanicolao (Pap) testing adherence. METHODS: Twenty-five qualitative interviews and 5 focus groups were conducted with Vietnamese women. RESULTS: Interviews and focus groups revealed unanticipated information about sociocultural influences on women's beliefs about risk factors for cervical cancer. These data were utilized to develop culturally appropriate outreach materials. CONCLUSIONS: Engaging with the target community enabled the development of culturally appropriate materials addressing cervical cancer risk factors and encouraging Pap testing adherence.
