Subject: [ ] Re: Women's health coordinator

position

I would like to thank everyone for their suggestions, both on list and off.

I am in the process of gathering information to write a research proposal

and would like to see

what has already been done with regard to cancer health beliefs, practices

and screening among

the immigrant (esp. the Latin American/Caribbean) population. While my

focus is on (cervical)

cancer health beliefs, practices and screening among Haïtian immigrant

women, there are many,

many similarities between Haïtian and other Latin American cultures. I am

certain I can draw

valuable insight from Latin American studies and results, as well as from

the research

techniques and tools used in those studies.

There are a few studies relating to cancer among the Haïtian population but

all that I have seen

are, quite logically, qualitative. While qualitative studies yield more

insight, are probably

more appropriate and most definitely interest me, I am taking a Master's

level course in which

the professor is asking me to develop my proposal from the quantitative

approach. My professor

has suggested (but not required) replicating a study using the Health Belief

Model.
