Community-Based Cervical Cancer Prevention
• Women continue to fall through significant gaps in the screening, dx, and treatment safety net
• Disproportionately affects poor women from communities of color
• Many partners already addressing different aspects of the cvx ca prevention
• Meaningful improvement in cvx ca incidence/ mortality requires systemic coordinated effort
• One death from cervical cancer is one too many!
![Page 27: OWARDS A NEW CONCEPTUALIZATION OF OMEN’S HEALTH€¦ · •Disproportionately affects poor women from communities of color •Many partners already addressing different aspects](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022053107/60765efa6a75707e9a7ecc73/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Specific Challenges • Science/practice of cervical ca prevention has advanced
tremendously in recent years
• Non-industry related patient education materials/health education reflect outdated paradigm
• Populations most in need of information has the least access to it
• Prophylactic HPV vaccination makes school districts major players
• Health care sector may be under prepared for new screening technologies and for the vaccine based cervical cancer prevention
