Summary

The overall goal of this education program is to increase breast and cervical cancer screening in low-income women in Puerto Rico through implementation of an evidence-based educational program that addresses both health professionals (promotoras or community health workers) and public audiences of low-income women living in Canóvanas, Puerto Rico who have either never been screened for breast and/or cervical cancer, or are under-screened according recommended guidelines. To evaluate promotoras' delivery of the CLS screening education program we used a randomized pre-post comparison group study design that will provide data to determine the effectiveness of the CLS intervention program compared with usual practice (no intervention).
