This webinar will review priority areas of cancer control for Hispanics, and introduce examples of culturally proficient interventions and campaigns designed to increase screening rates for cervical cancer and vaccinations for the Human Papilloma Virus (HPV). Highlighted examples will include the Tamale Lesson, a narrative health communication intervention designed for Mexican-American women that promotes cervical cancer screening and prevention, and the Es Tiempo campaign which uses environmental cues to remind women and their children to prevent cervical cancer through screening and vaccination. Coordinated by the Nuestras Voces Network and the National Association of Chronic Disease Directors (NACCD), this webinar will include an overview of Network priorities and opportunities for collaboration.
