与该地区其他种族/少数民族和移民群体的妇女相比，居住在佛罗里达州迈阿密的海地妇女患宫颈癌和死于宫颈癌的风险更高。为了应对这种差异，来自当地一所大学癌症中心的学术研究人员和来自迈阿密以海地人为主的小海地社区的社区领袖创建了Patne en Aksyon(合作伙伴在行动)，这是一个校园-社区合作伙伴。我们描述了该伙伴关系使用基于社区的参与性研究方法来记录终身和常规巴氏测试使用的流行率的努力。该地区的土著社区卫生工作者从小海地各地的不同社区场所招募参与者，并进行非正式的简短访谈，以评估他们的筛查做法。结果表明，海地妇女接受了筛查，并强调了社区参与研究执行的重要性。我是J公共卫生。2009；99：1163-1165。DOI：10.2105/AJPH.2008.142794。
Haitian women living in Miami, Florida, experience an increased risk of developing and dying from cervical cancer compared with women in other racial/ethnic minority and immigrant groups in the area. In response to this disparity, academic investigators from a local university-based cancer center and community leaders from Little Haiti, the predominately Haitian neighborhood in Miami, created Patne en Aksyon (Partners in Action), a campus-community partnership. We describe the partnership's effort to document the prevalence of lifetime and routine Papanicolau test use using community-based participatory research methods. Community health workers indigenous to the area recruited participants from various community venues throughout Little Haiti and administered informal, brief interviews to assess their screening practices. The results indicate that Haitian women are underscreened and underscore the importance of community involvement in study implementation.
