Article Synopsis
- A community-based program called CARES in Toronto aimed to improve breast and cervical cancer screening among marginalized women, specifically immigrants and refugees who were less likely to get screened.
- From May 2012 to October 2013, the program offered educational sessions in 20 languages, with 1,993 women attending, 35% of whom were never screened for Pap tests, and 48% for mammography.
- The study found that CARES participants showed significantly higher screening rates—26% for Pap and 36% for mammography—compared to 9% and 14% for their matched controls, indicating the program's effectiveness in reaching under-screened populations.
