Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The purpose of this five-year community-based randomized trial was to: 1) examine the Pap test decision making process in Pacific Islander women; 2) assess the role of social support within the decision making process; and 3) develop and test an intervention to increase Pap testing among Pacific Islander women, and support among their male spouses/significant others. The intervention was created utilizing a Multi-Attribute Utility model and social support theory resulting in gender-specific educational workshops consisting of a social support intervention that informed both Pacific Islander women and men about cervical cancer and the importance of Pap testing for Pacific Islander women, and aimed to increase social support among their male spouses/significant others.

Study Groups

Intervention

Gender-specific culturally tailored social-support informed educational intervention session.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Intervention

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

The educational session consisted of a one-hour small group discussion (5-10 people). Gender-specific community health educators facilitated sessions for Pacific Islander women and for their spouses/significant others that included an educational video and other materials (brochure, calendar, and resource list). The video emphasized the importance of Pap testing for Pacific Islander women, and showed men supporting their women to get tested. Women's sessions provided basic information on cervical cancer and pap testing, and ended with verbal commitments and target screening dates by women to get screened. The men's education sessions contained similar information, with supplemental information on how to provide support for their wives to get tested and exercises on showing their support.

Control

Usual care with delayed intervention at the end of study.
