Abstract
Cervical cancer is the second most common cancer in women worldwide. Regular screening can find abnormalities early and prevent morbidity and mortality. But CCS rates are low in the U.S. and at the project site. A comprehensive review of the literature was conducted to find evidence-based interventions to increase CCS rates. Language-specific, mailed education increased uptake of CCS significantly in underserved populations (Duffy et al., 2017; Jayasekara, 2020). Also, phone and email reminders significantly increased uptake of cancer screening, and multiple interventions were more effective than single ones. (Duffy et al., 2017; Muller et al., 2009).
