Proposed Project
Formative Research on Issues Related to the Use of Mass Media in
African-American Women: Phase II--New--National Center for Chronic
Disease Prevention and Control (NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Women's health programs, including the National Breast and Cervical
Cancer Early Detection Program (NBCCEDP), offer low-cost or free breast
cancer screening to uninsured, low-income women. In 1991, CDC
established the NBCCEDP to increase breast and cervical cancer
screening among uninsured, underserved, low-income women. To date, over
1.5 million women have received services from NBCCEDP-sponsored
programs, yet NBCCEDP-sponsored programs are estimated to reach only
18% of women 50 years old and older who are eligible for screening
services. Why women do not participate in this screening is not well
understood. A research priority for the NBCCEDP is to identify
effective strategies to increase enrollment among eligible women who
have never received breast or cervical cancer screening.
CDC conducted a phase I study (OMB number 0920-0652) to
investigate, through a series of eight focus groups in Macon and
Savannah, Georgia, the reasons why women who were eligible for NBCCEDP
services did or did not participate in the program. Respondents were
low-income, African American women aged 40 to 64 years. The study also
investigated viable sources, messages, and channels through which to
reach this population with promotional messages about breast cancer
screening.
The proposed phase II data collection will build on phase I
activities. Eight additional focus groups will be conducted in Macon
and Savannah, Georgia, to (1) test consumer response to concepts that
arose in the Phase I formative research related to breast cancer
screening, and (2) test a series of radio and print health messages
aimed at increasing mammography screening among low-income African
American women for cultural appropriateness. Respondents will be
NBCCEDP-eligible African-American women aged 40-64 years. There are no
costs to the respondents other than their time. The total estimated
annualized burden hours are 175.
