A Community Capacity-Enhancement Approach to Breast and Cervical Cancer Screening among Older Women of Color
Bullock, Karen; McGraw, Sarah A.
Health & Social Work, v31 n1 p16-25 2006
In the Screening Older Minority Women project, the authors applied a community capacity-enhancement approach to promoting breast and cervical cancer screening among older women of color. Members of informal support networks were recruited for this health promotion intervention to empower Latina and African American women to engage in positive health behaviors. The authors describe the phases of the intervention and the experiences from the community. Guidelines are identified to help researchers and practitioners in planning and implementing community health promotion intervention with women of color.
