Abstract	Many refugee women emigrate from countries with high cervical cancer incidence rates and have low rates of cervical cancer screening both before and after resettlement. Refugee women face many barriers to cervical cancer screening, including limited knowledge of cervical cancer and screening recommendations and cultural and linguistic barriers to being screened. Our pilot study aimed to develop and evaluate educational videos to promote cervical cancer screening among Karen-Burmese and Nepali-Bhutanese refugees, two of the largest groups of refugees arriving to the United States in recent years. We developed culturally tailored narrative videos for each ethnic group. Karen-Burmese and Nepali-Bhutanese women (N = 40) were recruited through community health educators to participate in a pre- and posttest study. We assessed changes in cervical cancer knowledge and intentions to be screened, and satisfaction with the videos. We found that women were significantly more likely to report having heard of a test for cervical cancer and indicated significantly greater intentions to be screened after watching the video. Their knowledge about cervical cancer and screening also improved significantly, and they reported high levels of acceptability with the video. Our results suggest that culturally tailored narrative educational videos were acceptable to the target audiences and may be effective in increasing cervical cancer screening among refugee women. Further research should assess how health care and social service providers could implement video-based interventions to encourage women to be screened for cervical cancer during early resettlement.
