Abstract：
:This study examined the relationship between the intention to receive Pap tests for cervical cancer screening, as related to the transtheoretical model of behavior change, and self-efficacy, and perceived barriers and benefits among Latina women. A sample of 121 Latina women recruited from a University campus completed validated questionnaires. Over half the participants (62 %) reported engaging in regular cervical screening. The greatest self-efficacy scores were observed among women in the action/maintenance phase, and the least self-efficacy was observed among women in the no-intention phases of behavior change. There was also a gradient in perceived barriers and the stages of change, women in precontemplative/relapse perceived significantly higher barriers than those in contemplation/preparation and action/maintenance. This study identifies a high-risk group of Latina women and demonstrates a need for culturally targeted Pap screening interventions using validated and theoretically driven behavior change interventions focusing on perceived barriers and benefits, and self-efficacy.
