Screening Mammography and Latinas: A Multilevel Intervention

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Breast Cancer

In brief

¡Fortaleza Latina! is a multi-level randomized trial to increase participation in mammography screening among Latinas who seek care at a community health center in Western Washington. In partnership with the partnering community health center, we have obtained lists of women patients aged 42 to 74 years old who had not had a mammogram in the last two years and resided within defined radii of the four clinics. Baseline and one year follow-up surveys will be obtained by in person home interview. Participants are randomized within clinic to intervention or comparison group. The intervention consist of two motivational interviewing sessions, one in person in the home, and one telephone follow-up. The study hypothesis is that a higher proportion of participants in the motivational interviewing arm will obtain a screening mammogram within the study period than those in the comparison arm.
