Cervical cancer risk and screening among women seeking assistance with basic needs
In the U.S., more than half of cervical cancers occur in women who are inadequately screened. This study aimed to evaluate the need for cervical cancer screening among women. Women in the navigator group reported higher rates of contacting the test referral than those exposed to verbal referral only. Health navigators triple the likelihood that women will make contact with Papanicolaou test services.
