Abstract

Oral presentation at the 6^th Annual North American Refugee Health Conference, Niagara Falls, New York.

Research Questions:

1. What is the prevalence of cervical cancer and cervical cancer screening among recently resettled refugees seen at Jefferson's Center for Refugee Health?

2. Are patient-and provider-identified barriers to cervical cancer screening at CRH consistent with those identified in previous research efforts?

3. What are patient-and provider identified facilitators to cervical cancer screening for Iraqi refugee women?
