The Binational Cervical Cancer Outreach Project has developed two Spanish language audio spots to promote cervical cancer prevention awareness among the Latino community.
Hispanic women have the highest rate of cervical cancer in the state of California.*
These two Spanish audio messages describe the importance of getting a pap test and provide contact information about where and how to access convenient services. In California, pap tests are available to women with or without insurance and regardless of their legal status. The message underscores that a woman's health affects all members of her family and community.
Air these spots during the month and throughout the year!
Bi-National Health Week, October 6-13, 2008
