Improving Prison Health Equity Through Cancer Literacy and Screening Awareness in Florida

This study evaluates cancer screening awareness, personal and family cancer history, and barriers to screening among incarcerated women at Gadsden Correctional Facility. The information will be used to inform the content of a tailored digital educational module on screenable types of cancer, their risk factors, and current screening guidelines that will be disseminated to US prisons and incorporated into release programs and general health literacy programs.
