About this study
In plain language
This study tests a program designed for Black women to help them overcome barriers to getting screening mammograms (breast X-rays that check for cancer). It is for Black women age 40 or older who have a screening mammogram scheduled within 8 weeks of joining.
The purpose of this study is to increase screening mammography among Black women by implementing and evaluating a culturally tailored patient-centric program designed to address barriers to screening. By performing a randomized clinical trial, this study aims to develop effective strategies to improve adherence to screening mammography and contribute to reducing health disparities in breast cancer outcomes.
Compensation is read from the study's own description and may be missing — always confirm with the study team.
