To describe cervical cancer control practices from common countries of origin for women who resettle in the United States as refugees to highlight this persistent health inequity. Describe presence/type of national cervical cancer screening program, screening coverage percentage, and human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination program presence and coverage. Nine of 15 included countries screen opportunistically. Most do not use high-performing tests, and estimates of screening coverage were limited. Only one country offers HPV vaccination. Countries of origin for refugee women may lack effective national cervical cancer control programs. To meet the World Health Organization (WHO)'s call to eliminate cervical cancer by 2030, focus on culturally tailored education, and continued research are paramount.
描述作为难民在美国重新定居的女性的宫颈癌控制措施，这些女性来自一些常见的原籍国，以突出这种持续存在的健康不平等现象。描述国家宫颈癌筛查计划的存在/类型、筛查覆盖率以及人乳头瘤病毒（HPV）疫苗接种计划的存在和覆盖率。纳入研究的15个国家中有9个国家进行机会性筛查。大多数国家不使用高效检测方法，且筛查覆盖率的估计有限。只有一个国家提供HPV疫苗接种。难民女性的原籍国可能缺乏有效的国家宫颈癌控制计划。为响应世界卫生组织（WHO）在2030年前消除宫颈癌的号召，开展针对特定文化的教育以及持续研究至关重要。
