Evidence Based Dissemination for Mammography Adherence in Safety Net Communities
Completed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Breast Cancer
In brief
Breast cancer is the most common cancer and the second leading cause of cancer related death in American women. Regular screening, early diagnosis, and timely treatment initiation have been shown to reduce breast cancer morbidity and mortality. However, disparities continue to exist across the breast cancer continuum for underserved women, particularly minority women. The reduction of disparities in breast cancer outcomes is a major goal of Healthy People 2020 and the National Cancer Institute. However, the preventable burden of late stage breast cancer will continue until the investigators close the gap between what is known about prevention and what is implemented in the community. Although many sources of information exist about theory and \[theory-\] and evidence-based interventions (EBIs) to promote mammography screening, their adoption and use in the community has been limited and haphazard at best.
