Introduction
 Cervical Cancer
2nd most common cancer among women
worldwide
1st most common cancer among women in Taiwan
Incidence rate: 32.49/10,000
40% of the female deaths in Taiwan due to cancer
10% of these cancer deaths were due to cervical
cancer

Risk Factors for Cervical Cancer
Sexual activity before the age of 20 (Zhang & Chen, 1986)
Multiple sexual partners (Cuzick et al, 1989 ;
Parazzini et al, 1992)
History of HPV / STDs (Kjaer et al, 1996)
Smoking (Coker, 1992; Simons et al, 1993)
History of abnormal Pap (Zhang & Chen, 1986)

Pap Screening Behavior
Hiatt RA & Pasick R, 1995 (Bay area, SF)
Prevalence of ever had a Pap:
White/Black -- 98%; Latino -- 97%; Chinese -- 56%
Wang PD & Lin RS, 1996 (Taipei, Taiwan)
About 40+% of the women never had a Pap
86% had not had one in the past year
Li CF & Zhou BS, 1997 (Kimen, Taiwan)
Pap test prevalence: 62% (615 / 990)
Annual Pap test compliance: 45% (274 / 615)

Significance
 Data for Chinese women are limited
 National Health Insurance Plan provides women
aged 30 and older to have an annual Pap test
 The significance of cervical cancer in Taiwan
 Few intervention programs targeting Chinese
women and none were developed based on theory
or evaluated properly

 Pilot Study and Instrument Validation (con’t)
Summary & Limitations
It provided a basis for measuring factors associated
with
Pap screening behavior among Chinese women.
The pilot study helped define the approach of further
needs assessment and intervention development.
Larger studies are required to further examine the
relationships of these potential influencing factors
and
13
screening behavior.

 Intervention Development (con’t)
IM Step 1: Proximal Program Objectives
Behavior - Non-compliant women will obtain a Pap after the intervention
PO1: schedule a Pap test
PO2: obtain a Pap test
Personal determinants: intention; knowledge; perceived pros/cons;
perceived norms; susceptibility
External determinants: cues to action
Environments - Increased availability of alternative service
by female doctors
PO1: hospital administrators approve provision of service
PO2: female Drs. sign up to perform Pap exams in the community
Personal determinants:

Summary & Future Directions
By using the IM process, we were able to systematically
incorporate empirical and new data, as well as utilize theories to
guide the intervention design.
The needs assessment provided an important foundation of the
program. IM helped us ensure addressing factors associated
with screening behavior in the program development.
The framework also helped us in developing the evaluation
questions.
Programs targeting other health related behavior, or using other
methods/strategies can be developed with this IM process as
21
well.
 Program Intervention Evaluation

Limitations & Future Directions
Limitations:
The generalization of the results
Future Directions:
Program designed to address factors associated with
screening behavior can result an effective intervention
for the specific population
Future program can consider similar strategies for
reaching at-risk population
Future studies should further investigate the role of
pros/cons on influencing cancer screening behavior
