Kin KeeperSM: Reducing Disparities Through Cancer Literacy and Screening

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
1) To determine if the Kin KeeperSM Cancer Prevention Intervention increases first time and appropriately timed breast cancer screening rates among Black, Latina and Arab women; 2) To determine if the Kin KeeperSM Cancer Prevention Intervention increase first time and appropriately time cervical cancer screening rates among Black, Latina and Arab women; 3) To measure functional cancer literacy over time at the individual and familial level and 4) Assess rates of healthcare utilization cost among women in the Kin KeeperSM intervention and control-comparison groups.

| Participant Group/Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
| --- | --- |
| Experimental: Cancer prevention intervention<br>Cancer prevention intervention: Experimental group receives intensive 2 hour education in each breast and cervical cancer risks and prevention intervention, and face to face reading of post intervention surveys by an community health worker. | Behavioral: Kin KeeperSM Cancer Prevention Intervention<br> <br> |
| Active Comparator: Control group receives standard care<br>The control group receives reading materials and brochures on breast and cervical cancer such as one would receive in a doctors office and post condition surveys. All materials are read by the participant without the interaction or assistance of the community health worker. | Other: Standard of care<br> <br> |

| First time AND appropriately timed, clinical breast exam, mammogram, pap test | Participants will complete measures every 6 months (baseline, 12 mo., 18 mo., 24 mo., 30 mo. & 36 mo.)to measure increases in screening rates for experimental vs. control group. | Baseline through 36 months. | 

Secondary Outcome Measures
