Although advancements in cervical cancer prevention have helped reduce the incidence, mortality, and prevalence, access to these preventive services has not been experienced equally by all women in the United States. The purpose of this study was to learn about the factors that affect access to preventive services in a low-income, primarily Black community. Using a community-based participatory research approach, women were recruited to participate in 7 focus groups, with 6 to 8 women per group (N = 45). Participants were mainly Black (64%), with a mean age of 46 years, and 60% reporting completing at least some college. The discussions were transcribed, and text data were organized using Dedoose software. Guided by qualitative content analysis, the data were analyzed through an iterative process of coding and condensing the codes into themes. Ten types of barriers and 11 facilitators relating to cervical cancer screening access were identified and grouped into 7 themes. Participants provided suggestions for promoting cervical cancer screening in their community. On the basis of the findings of the data, the researchers conceptualized and mapped culturally and geographically appropriate interventions to promote cervical cancer screening within the community of interest
