No data exists on the breast and cervical cancer screening practices among Cambodian, Laotian, Thai, and Tongan women. In this article, we describe the efforts required to conduct a baseline survey among these non-English-speaking women using the participatory action research (PAR) approach.
We tailored small population sampling techniques to each of the populations in partnership with Community Health Outreach workers.
A total of 1825 surveys were successfully conducted in 8 communities.
PAR and the culturally based techniques used to conduct the survey proved successful in maintaining scientific rigor, developing true community-researcher partnership, and achieving over 99% participation.
关于柬埔寨、老挝、泰国和汤加女性的乳腺癌和宫颈癌筛查情况尚无相关数据。在本文中,我们描述了采用参与式行动研究(PAR)方法对这些非英语女性进行基线调查所需开展的工作。
我们与社区卫生外展工作者合作,针对每个群体量身定制了小群体抽样技术。
在8个社区成功开展了总计1825项调查。
PAR以及用于开展调查的基于文化的技术在保持科学严谨性、建立真正的社区 - 研究者合作关系以及实现超过99%的参与率方面被证明是成功的。
