Abstract
Although many African women immigrate to the United States from countries with high prevalence rates for female genital cutting (FGC), there has been limited research exploring the incidence and impact of FGC among this growing immigrant population. This pilot study sought to examine the experiences of FGC among West African immigrant women in the US. Of the 23 participants, 7 reported a history of FGC, with Muslim participants reporting significantly higher rates of FGC than Christians (Fisher's Exact = .045). Most of the women who had experienced FGC were from Sierra Leone (Fisher's Exact = .027). Limitations of the study are discussed along with suggestions for future research aimed at understanding the impact of FGC, reducing the prevalence and demand for FGC among African immigrant women and improving the health and quality of life of women who have undergone the procedure.
摘要
尽管许多非洲女性从女性生殖器切割（FGC）高发率国家移民到美国，但针对这一不断增长的移民群体中FGC的发生率和影响的研究却很有限。这项试点研究旨在调查美国西非移民女性中FGC的经历。在23名参与者中，7人报告有FGC史，穆斯林参与者报告的FGC发生率显著高于基督教徒（费舍尔精确检验=0.045）。大多数有FGC经历的女性来自塞拉利昂（费舍尔精确检验=0.027）。文中讨论了该研究的局限性，并对未来研究提出了建议，旨在了解FGC的影响、降低非洲移民女性中FGC的流行率和需求，并改善接受过该手术的女性的健康和生活质量。
