Effectiveness of a Breast Cancer Education Screening and NavigaTion (BEST) Intervention among Hispanic Women.

Background: In the United States, breast cancer remains one of the most diagnosed cancers among females and remains the second leading cause of cancer death. In addition, breast cancer is most likely diagnosed at an advanced stage among Hispanic females in the United States due to lower mammogram utilization.

Aims: The objective of this study was to determine the effectiveness of a multilevel, multicomponent community-based breast cancer screening intervention called the Breast Cancer Education Screening and NavigaTion (BEST) program.

Effect of Text Message Reminders on Attendance at Cervical Cancer Screening Appointments in a Predominantly Hispanic Population.

Hispanic women have the highest rates of incident cervical cancer in the United States (U.S.) and are 1.

Colorectal neoplasia prevalence in a predominantly Hispanic community: Results from a colorectal cancer screening program in Texas.

Background: A community-based, colorectal cancer (CRC) screening program for uninsured/underinsured individuals was successfully implemented in El Paso, Texas to increase CRC screening rates. Our aim was to determine the colorectal neoplasia prevalence among program participants and between screening groups.

Methods: We retrospectively reviewed participant records from 2012 to 2017.

Comparison of Narrative Video and Flipchart Presentation to Promote Cervical Cancer Screening Among Latinas Along the Border.

Introduction: Cervical cancer incidence and mortality is higher among Latinas compared with non-Hispanic White women and barriers to screening include lack of knowledge, lack of access to health care, and cultural factors. Both video and printed material have been found effective as health education tools in underserved populations. The purpose of this study was to show no difference between a flipchart presentation facilitated by a community health worker and a narrative video with limited in-person interaction in increasing cervical cancer screening rates among Latinas along the U.

Breast cancer screening outcomes among Mexican-origin Hispanic women participating in a breast cancer screening program.

Breast cancer is the commonest occurring cancer and the leading cause of cancer death among Hispanic women in the USA. Although their overall breast cancer incidence and mortality is lower, incidence rates are rising faster and mortality declines are lower than other groups. It is expected that the breast cancer burden will rise as this population ages and becomes more acculturated.

Evaluation of a Narrative Video to Promote Prevention and Early Detection of Cervical Cancer Among Latinas.

Objective: To evaluate the impact of an online-delivered, theory-based narrative video on cervical cancer screening knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs in a predominantly Latino community.

Methods: The study design was a nonrandomized pretest-posttest evaluation. The eligibility criteria included men and women 18 years or older not previously enrolled in our community cervical cancer screening program who had internet access.

The Prevalence of Genital Human Papillomavirus Subtypes in a Cohort of Hispanic Women Presenting for Cervical Cancer Screening Along the US-Mexico Border.

Hispanic women residing along the US-Mexico border have the highest cervical cancer incidence rates in the US. Genital human papillomavirus (HPV) is the major causative agent, but more information is needed about the prevalence and distribution of genital HPV subtypes in this high-risk population. A population-based cross-sectional study of uninsured Hispanic women along the US-Mexico border was conducted and participants had their cervical specimens undergo DNA extraction followed by HPV genotype testing using the Linear Assay from Roche® Diagnostics, to identify 37 genital HPV subtypes.

Outcomes of a Multicomponent Culturally Tailored Cervical Cancer Screening Intervention Among Underserved Hispanic Women ().

Hispanic women have almost double the cervical cancer incidence and are twice as likely to die from cervical cancer compared with non-Hispanic White women. Cervical cancer is preventable with screening, and based on available data, multiple component screening interventions have been proposed as a strategy to maximize screening, but such studies are lacking. We sought to test the effectiveness of a multicomponent screening intervention for primary prevention and early detection of cervical cancer among underserved Hispanic women.

Group Versus Individual Culturally Tailored and Theory-Based Education to Promote Cervical Cancer Screening Among the Underserved Hispanics: A Cluster Randomized Trial.

Purpose: To determine whether group education is as effective as individual education in improving cervical cancer screening uptake along the US-Mexico border.

Design: Cluster randomized controlled study.

Setting: El Paso and Hudspeth Counties, Texas.

Physical Activity in Older Mexican Americans Living in Two Cities on the U.S.-Mexico Border.

Background: There is limited information on physical activity in marginalized older populations like that on the U.S.-Mexico border.

Change in Breast Cancer Screening Knowledge is Associated With Change in Mammogram Intention in Mexican-Origin Women After an Educational Intervention.

Purpose: To determine the relationship between breast cancer screening knowledge and intent to receive a mammogram within 6 months in a sample of Mexican-origin women living in El Paso, Texas.

Methods: A total of 489 uninsured Mexican-origin women were assigned to treatment or control and completed surveys at pre- and postintervention. Pre-post associations between breast cancer screening knowledge and intent were tested.
