Southeast Asian women in California have high cervical cancer incidence and mortality rates, but low levels of Pap screening. No published reports have addressed screening among Thai women. Entertainment-education (EE) is a useful strategy for low-literacy, culturally diverse populations. This quasi-experimental study determined whether a soap-opera-themed, Thai-language EE video was superior to a print handout for increasing knowledge, attitudes, and behavioral intention toward Pap testing. No uniform differences were found between the intervention group (video) and the control group (brochure). Both educational modalities appeared to result in selected increases in knowledge and attitudes.
加利福尼亚州的东南亚女性宫颈癌发病率和死亡率较高,但巴氏筛查水平较低。尚无已发表的报告涉及泰国女性的筛查情况。娱乐教育是针对低识字率、文化多元人群的一种有效策略。这项准实验研究确定了以肥皂剧为主题的泰语娱乐教育视频在增加对巴氏试验的知识、态度和行为意图方面是否优于印刷手册。干预组(视频)和对照组(手册)之间未发现一致的差异。两种教育方式似乎都导致了在知识和态度方面的特定提升。
