Decisional balance and self-efficacy mediate the association among provider advice, health literacy and cervical cancer screening.
CONCLUSIONS: Findings from this study suggest possible pathways through which provider advice and health literacy affect Pap tests. Interventions targeting immigrant women with limited English proficiency should consider skill-based approaches such as health literacy training, promoting patient-provider communications and emphasizing decisional balance and self-efficacy as potentially sustainable ways of promoting Pap tests.
