“…Studies consistently show that immigrant women, particularly those from Asia and Africa have a much higher incidence of cervical cancer than White women (American Cancer Society, 2007a). Immigrant women have a much lower rate of utilization of health services, particularly preventive services than White women (Chavez, Cornelius, & Jones, 1986;Jacobs & Rapoport, 2003). These trends are also observed in preventive health care-seeking and are especially evident among immigrant women who are unmarried, do not have access to health insurance or contact with physicians and family planning practitioners after migration, lack accurate cervical cancer information, and have diverse religious and cultural ideologies (Green, Freund, Posner, & David, 2005;Scarinci, Beech, Kovach, & Bailey, 2003;Taylor et al, 2002;Taylor et al, 1999;Taylor et al, 2004).…”
