Abstract

This qualitative study delves into the facilitators and barriers surrounding cervical cancer prevention among Latina women in Georgia, with a specific focus on the impact of community-based organizations (CBOs). Employing semi-structured interviews with healthcare providers and representatives from CBOs, faith-based organizations, and other key stakeholders, the study uncovers key themes and subthemes shaping cervical cancer disparities. Themes such as challenges in cross-cultural healthcare access, difficulties due to lack of US citizenship, and limited mobility emerge as significant barriers, while community and family support stand out as crucial facilitators to cancer prevention. Additionally, the study examines community intervention methods from CBOs to target cervical cancer disparity, highlighting the importance of public awareness campaigns, building trust within the Latina community, and providing medical support tailored to immigrant populations. Through this comprehensive examination, the study not only offers invaluable insights into the intricate web of issues surrounding cervical cancer prevention but also endeavors to serve as a catalyst for targeted interventions and evidence-based policies aimed at ameliorating cervical cancer disparities among immigrant Latinas in Georgia and beyond.

揭示佐治亚州拉丁裔移民患宫颈癌的不平等现象：以社区组织的影响为重点，对预防工作的促进因素和障碍进行有力的定性研究。

这项定性研究深入探讨了佐治亚州拉丁裔妇女宫颈癌预防的促进因素和障碍，特别关注社区组织（CBOs）的影响。通过对医疗服务提供者、社区组织代表、信仰组织和其他主要利益相关者进行半结构化访谈，该研究揭示了影响宫颈癌差异的关键主题和次主题。跨文化医疗保健方面的挑战、缺乏美国公民身份造成的困难以及有限的流动性等主题成为重大障碍，而社区和家庭的支持则成为预防癌症的重要促进因素。此外，该研究还探讨了社区组织针对宫颈癌差异采取的社区干预方法，强调了提高公众意识活动、在拉丁裔社区内建立信任以及提供适合移民人口的医疗支持的重要性。通过这种全面的研究，本研究不仅对围绕宫颈癌预防的错综复杂的问题提供了宝贵的见解，而且还努力成为一种催化剂，促进采取有针对性的干预措施和以证据为基础的政策，以改善佐治亚州及其他地区的拉丁裔移民中的宫颈癌差异。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
