Abstract
To assess predictors of cervical cancer screening among African American and Latina women, a needs assessment survey was conducted, exploring screening behavior, knowledge, and access to health care. Participants (N = 248) were recruited at community health fairs, tenants' association meetings, senior centers, and community health clinics to complete a questionnaire. The findings from 194 African American and Latina women are reported. Neither insurance nor physician referral for screening played a role in obtaining cervical cancer screening. Spoken language was influential. The findings can now inform interventions to increase screening in this population.
