A Cross Sectional Study of a Breast Health Education Program for Under-served Latino Women in Union and Mecklenburg County
Subjects will be recruited from the participants in the Union and Mecklenburg County Living
Room Visits. Participants in the Living Room Visit will have been recruited using community
event flyers. During the Living Room Visits, the Health Educator will provide a general
overview of the study. Individuals who are interested in participating in the study will then
be generally screened for eligibility by the Protocol Coordinator who will then proceed to
provide informed consent to potential subjects.

In an effort to increase early detection of breast cancer our program is designed to remove
some of the most common barriers faced by uninsured Latino women including lack of breast
health knowledge and inability to pay for screening. The Levine Cancer Institute offers
breast cancer education and screening in the growing Latino populations of both Mecklenburg
and Union Counties through educational programs known as "Living Room Visits." Living Room
Visits are educational sessions hosted at a participant's house that will be led by a
Carolinas Healthcare System (CHS) certified bilingual health educator. At least 250 women
will participant in the educational sessions between both counties with each session hosting
12-15 participants. Of those women participating in Living Room Visits, those interested will
be individually informed of the research opportunity and provided informed consent before
being asked to take a pre-test survey. After the educational session, subjects who consented
to the study will also complete a post-test survey. Three months after each Living Room
Visit, subjects will also be called to complete another post-test survey to assess
educational retention. Phone calls and post-test surveys will be administered by
Collaborative Institutional Training Initiative (CITI) trained CHS certified bilingual
employees only. Analysis of the pre and post-intervention surveys will be administered by a
CHS statistician using de-identified data.
