Phone calls may close breast cancer care gap for latinas
NCT ID NCT05483283
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether three short phone coaching sessions can help Latina women at high risk for breast cancer get the screening and genetic services they need. Researchers will enroll 600 Latina women with genetic and social risk factors. Half will get the coaching, and the other half will get standard care. The goal is to see if coaching increases the number of women who follow recommended screening guidelines.
