Using focus groups to plan culturally acceptable primary cervical cancer screening in Grenada, West Indies
CONCLUSIONS: Our findings have implications for future cervical cancer screening efforts in Grenada.

In addition, addressing issues of stigma and privacy are key to eliminating cervical cancer in Grenada.PMID:36726601 | PMC:PMC9881497 | DOI:10.26633/RPSP.2023.32 (Source: Pan American Journal of Public Health)

Sources and microbiological quality of domestic water in three rural communities in the southern Caribbean
This study investigated the sources and microbiological quality of domestic water used by rural communities of Speightstown, Barbados; Carriacou, Grenada; and Nariva, Trinidad. The primary water source was harvested rainwater in Carriacou, and the public water supply for Nariva and Speightstown. Secondary water supplies of the communities came from untreated sources including rainwater, wells, boreholes and springs. E. coli was detected at higher frequencies in water from Carriacou (41.3%) and Nariva (47.4%) than Speightstown (3.6%). Generally, more untreated samples of rainwater (44.6%) and surface/ground water (58.3%) we...
