Cervical Cancer Among Agricultural Worker Women: Prevalence and Best Practices By: Farmworker Justice & Health Outreach Partners

By: Farmworker Justice & Health Outreach Partners

To better understand the impact of cervical cancer among Migratory and Seasonal Agricultural (MSAW) women, we must recognize the level of awareness regarding the disease and the available care within this population. To achieve this, Farmworker Justice and Health Outreach Partners convened two listening sessions during the 2023-2024 East Coast Stream Forum and Midwest Stream Forum (now known as the Agricultural Worker Health Symposia). During the “Cervical Cancer in MSAW Families” sessions, participants received an overview of cervical cancer and the innovative approaches that exist for prevention and screening. Participants from health centers, primary care associations, and community-based organizations then had the opportunity to share challenges and promising practices associated with cervical cancer screenings in their communities. This report aims to convey the participants' insights and highlight promising practices in educating MSAW communities about cervical cancer.
