Empowering Latinas to Obtain Breast Cancer Screenings
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Empowerment and Education for Breastcancer and Breast Diseases. Completed, enrolled 145 participants across 3 sites.
Detailed Summary
The participatory-based project will quantify the 'added benefit' of an empowerment intervention relative to an education intervention for 150 Latinas on the following outcomes: women's adherence to breast cancer screening guidelines; women's psychosocial facilitators (self-efficacy, norms, support, and knowledge); and women's dissemination of breast health messages throughout their social network. The empowerment intervention will train Latinas in how to discuss breast health with their family and friends and volunteer in local breast health promotion programs. Academic, clinician, and community partners will work together throughout intervention development and evaluation.
