The purpose of this protocol is to understand the extent of symptom perception and preventive care-seeking among Vietnamese American women and their impact on cervical cancer screening from the perspectives and experiences of key informants including primary health care providers and Vietnamese American women (VAW, foreign-born and United States-born). With this information, the investigators can better understand how to promote cervical cancer screening in the Vietnamese community.
