LOCKED OUT: Where are the Ethnic Minority Women?. Shortcomings of Cervical Cancer Screening Programs in Developed Countries

      Аннотация: Cervical cancer is the second commonest cancer affecting women around the world. However, in spite of several interventions put in place in developed countries, mortality remains high, especially among ethnic minority women. Notably, a limited number of ethnic minority women attend cervical cancer screening. This book reveals the three major factors associated with poor participation of ethnic minority women living in developed countries in cervical cancer screening programs and recommends possible solutions to this public health problem.
