宫颈癌是可以通过治疗癌前病变来预防的，并且可以在早期阶段进行治疗。西班牙裔人的宫颈癌发病率较高，筛查率较低。Ayndando a las Mujeres con Informaccion，吉亚，y Amor帕拉su Salud（AMIGAS）是一项干预措施，旨在增加墨西哥裔美国妇女的宫颈癌筛查。AMIGAS是在社区参与下使用干预绘图（IM）开发的。在IM过程之后，作者完成了需求评估、项目目标的制定、干预方法和策略的选择以及项目设计。IM的一个好处是它与基于社区的参与性研究的联系，因为它包括社区成员的参与，以确定和完善优先领域。这一战略的成功表明，它是其他人口的有用工具。由此产生的干预方案目前正在三个地点进行疗效和成本效益测试：得克萨斯州埃尔帕索;得克萨斯州休斯顿;和华盛顿的亚基马。
Cervical cancer is preventable with treatment of precancerous lesions and treatable at early stages. Hispanics have higher rates of cervical cancer and lower rates of screening. Ayndando a las Mujeres con Informaccion, Guia, y Amor para su Salud (AMIGAS) is an intervention to increase cervical cancer screening in U.S. women of Mexican origin. AMIGAS was developed with the participation of the community using intervention mapping (IM). Following the IM process, the authors completed a needs assessment, development of program objectives, selection of intervention methods and strategies, and program design. A benefit of IM is its linkage with community-based participatory research as it includes engagement of community members to identify and refine priority areas. The success of this strategy suggests it a useful tool for other populations. The resulting intervention program is currently being tested for efficacy and cost-effectiveness in three sites: El Paso, Texas; Houston, Texas; and Yakima, Washington.
