Background: Disparities in women's health indicators exist throughout the Americas. Health data about indigenous women in the remote highland communities of Honduras are lacking. Our objective was to assess women's health indicators and to suggest potential interventions.

Methods: An anonymous questionnaire was administered to women =age 18 in the Yamaranguila municipality. We assessed rates of Pap smear, breastfeeding, family planning (FP), and prenatal care (PNC); childbirth setting; access issues; and self-health perceptions.

Results: Of the 134 participants, 30% were aged
Conclusions: In Honduras, the rural indigenous people have some of the worst health indicators compared to urban and nonindigenous people. Women's health status might be improved by implementing mobile care teams, training indigenous women as community health workers, and employing alternate modalities of cervical screening. Fundamental socioeconomic causes of poor health, such as remote residence, indigenous identity, and gender inequality, should be considered in future interventions to alleviate disparities in health status.
