HPV - Cervical Cancer

The University of Miami Miller School of Medicine studied HPV and cervical cancer rates in immigrant women in the underserved communities of Little Haiti, Hialeah, and South Dade. Integrating the RESPOND HEALTH ECOS Platform and distributing self-screening kits helped overcome screening challenges from community cultural and religious norms. The study team was able to capture and track vital clinical data within real-time from self-reported results that allowed for much needed patient follow-up and engagement. The one-year study revealed a disproportionate number of cases, nearly four times the number compared to women in the overall metropolitan area.
