I am wondering ... could you refer me to someone in that program who would be

able to

refer me to any research studies on cervical cancer health beliefs and screening

among immigrants?

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.
