Objective. Vietnamese American women are at the greatest risk for cervical cancer but have the lowest cervical cancer screening rates. This study was to determine whether demographic and acculturation, healthcare access, and knowledge and beliefs are associated with a prior history of cervical cancer screening among Vietnamese women.Methods. Vietnamese women (n=1450) from 30 Vietnamese community-based organizations located in Pennsylvania and New Jersey participated in the study and completed baseline assessments. Logistic regression analyses were performed.Results. Overall levels of knowledge about cervical cancer screening and human papillomavirus (HPV) are low. Factors in knowledge, attitude, and beliefs domains were significantly associated with Pap test behavior. In multivariate analyses, physician recommendation for screening and having health insurance were positively associated with prior screening.Conclusion. Understanding the factors that are associated with cervical cancer screening will inform the development of culturally appropriate intervention strategies that would potentially lead to increasing cervical cancer screening rates among Vietnamese women.

The Difference ◽  
American Children

This article is a meta-analysis of literature that discusses receipt of immunizations by VietnameseAmerican children, and receipt of cancer screening services by Vietnamese-American women. The results of the seven articles identified for inclusion in the meta-analysis were collated to determine what factors contribute to the discrepancies between Vietnamese-American children’s relatively high rates of immunizations, and Vietnamese-American women’s significantly low rates of Pap smear receipt. The article concludes that the difference in immunization rates for Vietnamese-American children, and cervical cancer screening rates for Vietnamese-American women, may be due to federally mandated vaccination requirements for all children entering school, and cultural barriers that dissuade women from receiving pap tests. The article suggests that providing outreach, education, and even cervical cancer screenings to Vietnamese-American women at pediatric and public health clinics that they frequent with their children, would provide an opportunity to increase cervical cancer screening rates for VietnameseAmerican women.
