Cervical cancer is considered to be a major health problem for women in developing countries, but it is also problematic for more developed countries as global migration increases and health behaviors move from the countries of origin to new places of residence. We designed and produced a testimonial video and a fotonovela (printed short story) to educate women about cervical cancer and screening. The development of the materials included formative research, production, pretesting, dissemination, and evaluation. The evaluation included 100 women that completed a pretest and a posttest at eight health clinics in Medellin. The pretest and posttest were analyzed using McNemar's test for categorical variables and paired t test for continuous variables. Women in the study had a high initial Stage of Change as defined by the Transtheoretical Model and a high baseline knowledge of HPV and cervical cancer, with the caveat of specific knowledge deficiencies especially for HPV. While not statistically significant, postintervention Transtheoretical Model status in both interventions changed towards higher stages, specifically, from Precontemplation to Contemplation and Preparation. Women who participated in the study liked the educational materials and their knowledge increased, especially for HPV. However, the perception of risk did not change. |
