Development of Cervical Cancer Prevention Workshops for Hmong and Karenni Women Through a Community-Academic Partnership.

Background: In the United States, Southeast Asian immigrant and refugee women face many barriers to cervical cancer screening. This work describes and evaluates the use of community health workers and community-based participatory research in providing community-level interventions through a community-academic partnership to address these barriers.

Methods: Community advisory board members and mother-daughter dyads were recruited to help develop and refine cervical cancer educational materials.
