Cervical Cancer Prevention for Black Adults
Sponsor: Adebola Adegboyega
Summary
The goal of this study is to develop and pilot test an intervention, entitled Health is Wealth: A Cervical Health Program, designed to promote screening and reduce perceived barriers to Cervical Cancer (CC) screening. Aim 1: Examine general awareness and cultural factors (fatalism, religiosity/spirituality, temporal orientation, medical mistrust, and acculturation) related to cancer control and prevention among African Americans (AA) and Sub Saharan African (SAI) Immigrants. Aim 2: Examine the socioecological barriers and facilitators to CC screening and self-sampling to inform tailoring of an evidenced based cervical health program to promote CC screening. Aim 3: Assess feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy in a pilot test of the Health is Wealth: A Cervical Health Program among 30 AA and 30 SAI women using quasi-experimental design. This study will take place in 2 phases.

Health is Wealth: A Cervical Health Program
Health is Wealth: A Cervical Health Program will be introduced in a one-time 2-hour educational session, participants will be given HPV self-sampling kits, and instructional sheet that visually depicts the steps for self-sampling. The program will be culturally tailored to increase self-efficacy and knowledge while simultaneously addressing perceived health beliefs associated with cervical cancer and barriers associated with cervical cancer screening and HPV self-sampling. Content will be delivered in a group format (about 10-15 participants) by lecture, demonstration, and interactive exercises.
