| Popis: | BACKGROUND No data exists on the breast and cervical cancer screening practices among Cambodian, Laotian, Thai, and Tongan women. In this article, we describe the efforts required to conduct a baseline survey among these non-English-speaking women using the participatory action research (PAR) approach. METHODS We tailored small population sampling techniques to each of the populations in partnership with Community Health Outreach workers. RESULTS A total of 1825 surveys were successfully conducted in 8 communities. CONCLUSION PAR and the culturally based techniques used to conduct the survey proved successful in maintaining scientific rigor, developing true community-researcher partnership, and achieving over 99% participation. |
