Transportation incentives emerged as the dominant intervention condition among patient subgroups that can be characterized as more disadvantaged socioeconomically and at higher risk of developing cervical cancer, including patients receiving care from the county health department and patients with less severe pap smear results.

The burden of illness of Indians eligible for services from the IHS is described and strategies for reducing morbidity and mortality related to those conditions are discussed and analysis of these conditions leads to the conclusion that much of the existing burdens can be reduced or eliminated.

Several simple measures might improve attendance at clinics, follow up of patients, and attitudes toward screening: invitations to attend the clinic, a register of patients and results, a simpler version of the leaflet, use of well known personalities to promote cervical screening, health education campaigns, and regular evaluation of records.

The incidence of cancer among Native Americans in Alaska, Canada, and the south western United States has been reportedly low relative to the Caucasian populations in these areas, but Native Americans of this area were found to be at lower risk of cancer than Caucasians at almost all ages.

Although incidence deficits were observed for several sites, cancer incidence was not significantly elevated for any cancer site and will contribute to the understanding of patterns of malignant disease among native peoples and aid in directing cancer control programs and services available to native groups.
