Pacific Islander women experience disproportionately high rates of cervical cancer, partly due to cultural barriers, limited health education, and beliefs that cancer is inevitably fatal. This quality improvement project evaluated the impact of a culturally appropriate educational intervention on cervical cancer knowledge and screening attitudes among Pacific Islander women aged 18 years and older. Participants completed surveys before and after an educational presentation, and results showed increased knowledge of cervical cancer, prevention, and screening, along with improved attitudes toward screening. Although the changes were not statistically significant, the findings suggest that culturally sensitive patient education can enhance awareness and support efforts to reduce cervical cancer disparities among Pacific Islander women.
