Evaluate whether a multifaceted community-based intervention, En Acción Contra el Cáncer, increases breast and cervical cancer screening adherence among Latinas.
Implemented a multifaceted program in intervention cities incorporating Spanish-language educational materials, media campaigns, community outreach, lay networker training, and clinician support.
Surveyed 1,601 Latinas aged 20 to 74 years across intervention and control cities to evaluate screening behaviors, cancer knowledge, and attitudes.
Intervention and control cities exhibited significant baseline differences in proportions of insured individuals, marital status, US-born status, and acculturation levels.
No statistically significant differences occurred between intervention and control communities regarding mammography uptake, Pap smear utilization, cancer knowledge, or attitudes.
