The Pap smear unquestionably is a successful screening test for cervical cancer. However, recent advances in technology have raised questions regarding whether the conventional Pap smear is still the standard of care. This article relates issues of screening and cost-effectiveness to the state of the art in thin layer preparations, cytology automation, human papillomavirus screening, human papillomavirus vaccines, and other cervical screening adjuncts. Perhaps nowhere in medicine is clinical decision making being more strongly influenced by market and other external forces than in cervical cytopathology.

“…2 Recent studies have compared the traditional smear technique to liquid-based, thin-layer technology in the evaluation of gynecologic material. 1,4,5,6,12,[16][17][18]26,28,33,34,[36][37][38]42,43 These studies determined that liquid-based methods increase detection of intraepithelial lesions and infectious agents and decrease the proportion of unsatisfactory and "satisfactory-but-limited-by" diagnoses.…”

“…We developed a unique LHA training curriculum based on the CEH’s goals, the needs of local communities, and LHAs core roles being used across the United States (Rosenthal, 1998). Guided by the principles of CBPR and community engagement (Minkler & Wallerstein, 2003; Salber, 1979), CEH staff and faculty, community partners, and hired LHAs collaborated through seven phases of curriculum development that ultimately resulted in a final seven-module LHA curriculum.…”

“…The varying roles of an LHA are confusing to organizations and community members (Rosenthal, 1998). For this reason, it was important to establish the qualifications of LHAs and the expected roles that the CEH’s LHAs would fulfill.…”

“…Use of LHAs holds great promise for enhancing the cultural, linguistic and literacy relevance of community-based outreach, education, and prevention programs; however, an inherent challenge and source of confusion is that LHAs have different names, roles, qualifications, and training differs across programs and settings (Cherrington et al, 2010; Hill-Briggs et al, 2007; O’Brien, Squires, Bixby, & Larson, 2009). Despite these challenges, seven core roles have been identified, according to the National Community Health Advisor Study (Rosenthal, 1998). These roles include

proving cultural mediation between communities and health and human service systems,

providing informal counseling and social support,

providing culturally appropriate health education,

advocating for individual and community needs,

ensuring that people obtain necessary services,

building individual and community capacity, and

providing basic access to screening services.

Introduction Racial and ethnic minorities have disproportionately higher cancer incidence and mortality than their White counterparts. In response to this inequity in cancer prevention and care, community-based lay health advisors (LHAs) may be suited to deliver effective, culturally relevant, quality cancer education, prevention/screening, and early detection services for underserved populations. Approach and Strategies Consistent with key tenets of community-based participatory research (CBPR), this project engaged community partners to develop and implement a unique LHA training curriculum to address cancer health disparities among medically underserved communities in a tricounty area. Seven phases of curriculum development went into designing a final seven-module LHA curriculum. In keeping with principles of CBPR and community engagement, academic–community partners and LHAs themselves were involved at all phases to ensure the needs of academic and community partners were mutually addressed in development and implementation of the LHA program. Discussion and Conclusions Community-based LHA programs for outreach, education, and promotion of cancer screening and early detection, are ideal for addressing cancer health disparities in access and quality care. When community-based LHAs are appropriately recruited, trained, and located in communities, they provide unique opportunities to link, bridge, and facilitate quality cancer education, services, and research.
