Poster

Despite advances in screening, breast and cervical cancer continue to impact women’s health. This poster session will explore innovative breast and cervical cancer prevention strategies in community-based and clinic settings. Examples include interventions targeting older women, human papillomavirus immunization programs for adolescent and young adult women, and analysis of breast and cervical cancer disparities among underserved, sexual minority, and racial/ethnic minority women. National, statewide, and local efforts to tailor prevention strategies across the lifespan will be discussed. Policy development and data analysis strategies to increase breast and cervical cancer prevention will be explored.

Session Objectives: List social, economic, and structural barriers to breast and cervical cancer across the lifespan; Identify barriers to cervical cancer prevention for racial and ethnic, sexual minority, and/or underserved women; Describe the risk of human papillomavirus infection among sexual minority women; and Describe how tailored interventions in a variety of settings (community, clinic, public-private partners) can be used to address breast and cervical cancer disparities.
