The main issue related to my area of interest involves cervical cancer screening.  Screening usually entails looking for cancer before a person develops any symptoms.  This can help in identifying cancer at an early age, which in turn increases the chances of treating it on time.  According to Guido (2018), despite the increasing incidences of cervical cancer in the United States, most women in the country usually decline to undergo screening. This is attributed to a wide range of aspects including fear of embarrassment, pain concerns, self-thinking that they are not at risk, busy lifestyles, as well as fear of being diagnosed as cancer positive.  Taking this into consideration, there is a substantial need to solve this issue by encouraging women to undertake cervical cancer screening.Please click the icon below to purchase full solution at $5
