What Women Want: Patient Recommendations for Improving Access to Breast and Cervical Cancer Screening and Follow-up

Abstract: BACKGROUND The patient voice remains underrepresented in clinical and public health interventions. To inform interventions that strive to improve access to breast and cervical cancer screening and follow-up among low-income populations, we explored recommendations from low-income women pursuing health care in the safety net. METHODS Semi-structured interviews were conducted among women receiving follow-up care for an abnormal breast or cervical cancer screening result or a positive cancer diagnosis in federa… Show more

“…However, patient-centered research topics should be considered a priority. The literature demonstrates that patients desire an active role in treatment decision making and planning, [67][68][69][70] but systemic, practice-level, attitudinal, and other barriers exist.

For health care providers, these findings may provide in-depth evidence to support clinical professionals facilitating cancer-screening services such as building up community partnership education programs ( Ragas et al, 2014 ). This study would present new thoughts to policy-makers in formulating relevant policies in cancer screening among Chinese American population.…”
