Cervical cancer is the 4th most common cancer for women. We want to learn about the experiences of Latina women in our community.

Have you been diagnosed with cervical cancer, pre-cervical cancer (AIS, or CIN 2, CIN 2/3), or had an abnormal pap smear result in the last 10 years? Or have you had a Loop Electrosurgical Excision (L.E.E.P.) procedure?

We invite you to participate in our study for Latina women who have been diagnosed with cervical cancer or pre cancer and are over the age of 35. We want to hear your story!

The goal of the study is to create a standard of care for providers so they better understand the patient's experience as well as improve comprehension about how they can provide additional support to the patient and their family.

Participation includes:

  • A 1-3 hour interview. The interview can be done at your home, in a public setting or online.
  • The interview will include questions about your medications, treatment, diagnosis, challenges and experiences with providers and family members, among other questions.
