Abstract
Hispanic women are at an increased risk of developing cervical cancer. Many of these women seek care at safety net clinics. The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between the characteristics of volunteer health care providers serving Hispanic women in faith-based safety net clinics and cervical cancer screening (CCS) practices. Findings revealed that volunteer nurse practitioners were more likely to document CCS recommendations (P < .01) and perform screenings (P < .01) than volunteer physicians. All types of volunteer providers improved in providing guideline-consistent screening recommendations despite screening guideline changes in 2009 and 2012 (P < .05).
