Educating Hispanic Women about Cervical Cancer Prevention: Feasibility of a Promotora-Led Charla Intervention in a Farmworker Community.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Hispanic women suffer disproportionately from cervical cancer incidence and mortality compared with non-Hispanic Whites in the United States. Peer-led health education and coaching via charlas (talking circles) may improve cervical cancer screening and early detection rates among specific sub-groups such as farmworker communities. This pilot study sought to collect preliminary evaluation data about the feasibility of implementing a promotora-led cervical cancer education intervention among women from a farmworker community. The study took place between April 2014 and November 2014. Created based on an established network (Tampa Bay Community Cancer Network, TBCCN), in partnership with a local farmworker organization (Farmworkers Self-Help, Inc.), the project entailed refinement of a curriculum guide including Spanish-language educational resources (teaching cards). Social Cognitive Theory and the Health Belief Model provided the conceptual framework for the study. Six women from the farmworker community helped to refine the intervention and were trained as promotoras. They successfully delivered the program via charlas to a total of 60 participants who completed baseline and post-intervention measures on knowledge (cervical cancer/HPV), beliefs, self-efficacy, and intentions. Findings demonstrated gains in knowledge and self-efficacy among charla participants (P<.0001), and support the promise of a community-driven intervention that is delivered by promotoras who use their cultural knowledge and trustworthiness to educate women about cancer screening practices. Results also add to the literature on the use of a charla approach for cancer prevention education within a farmworker community to prompt discussions about health. Future research should evaluate peer-led programs on a larger scale and among other at-risk groups in other community settings.
