| Purpose: |

Objectives:
1. To identify issues preventing access to early cervical cancer detection and treatment
among Harris County cervical cancer patients.
2. To examine correlations between responses on religiosity surveys, locus of control
(LOC), education, economics, literacy assessment, and stage of disease at presentation
for treatment.
3. To examine possible changes in responses to surveys after treatment is concluded.
4. To use this information to design intervention to improve the health status and health
outcomes of this patient population.
5. The objective of Dr. Ramondetta's role as PI for this study is to serve as mentor to
the LBJ resident conducting this trial at Lyndon B. Johnson General Hospital (LBJ),
review data with him, and advise him as needed as he prepares for publication. She
will also inform eligible patients in her LBJ clinic of the opportunity to participate
in this study.
6. The objective of Dr. Milbourne's, Dr. Rhodes', Dr. Bevers', and Dr. Frumovitz' roles is
to apprise patients in the LBJ clinics (Colposcopy and Gyn-Onc) of this study, then to
contact the resident's research team to complete the consenting and implementation
process.

| Study Summary: |
|
Little is known about what prevents women with cervical cancer or CIS from getting early and
possibly curative treatment. This study consists of a series of questionnaires that ask
questions about religion; coping; access to health care; physical, emotional, spiritual
well-being; understanding of health questions; control; fear; anxiety; and other health
beliefs to determine why some women delay coming in for check-ups and why some women do not
complete their treatments. It is thought that health beliefs influence behavior practices
and that by identifying these issues, things can be done to improve the health condition and
results for these patients.
You are being asked to take part in this study because you are a patient with newly
diagnosed cervical cancer stage IA1 through IVB or CIS and are seen in the
gynecologic-oncology or colposcopy clinic at LBJ General Hospital.
This is an investigational study. About 40 patients will be enrolled at Lyndon B. Johnson
General Hospital.
