What this Trial Is About
Researchers are evaluating the long-term effects of two approaches to encourage guideline-based breast cancer screening among Latina women who are not following current recommendations. This study integrates social network analysis and implementation science into a randomized clinical trial to compare an empowerment approach versus traditional education. The goal is to understand how these interventions impact initial and repeat breast cancer screenings and how effects may spread through social networks of participants. Participants are assigned to one of two intervention groups: an Educate group offering education and navigation sessions, and an Empower group providing empowerment and navigation sessions. These sessions cover breast cancer knowledge, disparities, screening guidelines, barriers, testimonials, and create individual action plans. Later sessions focus on health knowledge, promotion strategies, and community involvement. The study includes a main trial with 400 non-adherent individuals and a network study with 200 referred network members. During the study, participants will be assessed over 1 to 4 years for adherence to breast cancer screening guidelines. Data will be collected on initial and repeat screening behavior, psychosocial and network factors, and intervention mechanisms. Researchers will monitor screening rates and explore how non-adherent individuals may influence others. The total participation includes initial sessions, follow-up, and long-term observation of breast cancer screening behaviors.
