​The Anishinaabek Cervical Cancer Screening Study (ACCSS) is a research study based in Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada.

Researchers think that by increasing cervical cancer screening in First Nations communities, the number of new cases of cervical cancer will decrease. ACCSS aims to find a culturally safe way to promote cervical screening in these Indigenous communities. Health care providers and women from these communities stress that culturally sensitive education is needed.  
​
ACCSS is moving forward on the journey toward better health in First Nations by working together with women and health care providers from the communities to promote awareness, increase screening and reduce the incidence of cervical cancer in First Nations women.
