Summary

This trial tests whether empowerment sessions can increase the number of Latina women who follow breast cancer screening guidelines. About 600 women who are overdue for a mammogram will be randomly assigned to either education sessions or empowerment sessions. Researchers will compare how many women in each group get their first and repeat mammograms on schedule.
