America’s Cervical Cancer Crisis

Why Low-income and Medically Underserved Women Are Bearing the Burden and How to Improve Access to Care.

Each year thousands of US women die needlessly from cervical cancer, a highly preventable disease. Most of the burden falls on medically underserved communities – including low-income, black, Hispanic, Native American, and incarcerated women who face barriers to access care.

In the 9-pages report you will find:

  • An overview of recent research into the state of cervical cancer among underserved women in America
  • Information about toolkits made available in low-resource settings worldwide
  • A discussion about the technologies now available to enable healthcare providers to better extend the benefits of screenings to those with limited access to care.

MobileODT Women’s Health Special Populations Project

MobileODT has the honor of working with women’s health clinicians around the world. Increasing immigration and shifts in social norms have led many healthcare providers to interact with patients from unfamiliar backgrounds with unfamiliar considerations.

Our Special Populations Project taps into the collective knowledge within the network of EVA System users that spans 42 countries, to give other clinicians an insider’s view on certain special populations.

These guides are intended to start the conversation and to give clinicians an initial sense of the issues involved. Official protocols and local guidelines should be adhered to in every case.
