Section: Duration of Study Involvement
Subsections: How Long Will You Be In The Research?

The study will involve three 2 hour sessions across 3 consecutive weeks for each participant and a final survey, which should take about 20-30 minutes. The sessions will be closed group format so that once you decide to enroll into a particular group of sessions, you will be required to attend the 3 sessions consecutively for the three weeks for that group. You may not switch to another group. You will be given the dates, times and location once you have decided to participate and have selected a group at time of recruitment.

Section: Procedures
Subsections: Study Procedures|Written Questionnaires

Each workshop will take place across three sessions within three weeks and will be a group of 6-8 Latina women. We will recruit 75 women from the Pilsen/Little Village and 75 women from the East Side/South Chicago. We will continue conducting workshops until 150 women have participated. UIC staff will be present at all study activities. The UIC staff are fully bilingual in Spanish and English. You will be assigned to the group you selected during recruitment, either a Spanish language only workshop or an English language only workshop. Your signature will be required on this Informed Consent form.  
Each workshop will have three educational sessions that should take about two to three (2-3) hours. During this first session, the UIC staff will first give an overview about the sessions/workshops, including our research questions and the outcomes we hope to address. Next, we will ask for your help with a questionnaire, which will include a random 6-digit identification code and will not be linked to your name or contact information.  
Community Health workers will present then the educational session. We will meet and give two other presentations across the next two weeks. After the third session, we will ask for your help with another survey. Across the next six months, you will be called monthly on the phone by UIC study staff to see how you are doing. Finally, we will ask for your help with a third questionnaire six months after the last session.  
During the workshops, we will ask you to give us a name to identify you. This name can be anything you like and may not need to be your legal or given name. You can also choose to not use a name. Regardless, we will not use your name during any notes that are taken. After the workshops, all forms will be scanned, stored and kept by the Principal Investigator in a password-protected computer in a locked office.  
If you choose to participate in this project, you have the right to withdraw at any point in time. You also have the right to refuse to answer any questions you wish to not answer.  
If you would like, our study team can also store your contact information (specifically your name and phone number) to alert you about other future research studies. Only members of this study team would have access to your information and only they would contact you with information about the new study. When contacted, you would not be obligated to participate in this other research and it would not affect the relationships you have with this study team, Centro Comunitario Juan Diego, The Resurrection Project, or the University of Illinois at Chicago. If you were however interested, the study team would then give you the information you would need to begin related activities for those studies, including the consenting process. At that point in time, as well, you would be able to let us know if you do not want to be contacted again. We would then remove your name and phone number from our records.  
I agree to allow the researchers to contact me about future research. Initials ________. I do not **agree** to allow the researchers to contact me about future research. Initials _____.

You will be asked to complete three surveys: 1 at the first session, 1 at the third session, and 1 six months after the workshops. All information will be anonymous (without linking your name or identity). We are not collecting any personal information at these sessions that could identify you. Survey 1 will include information about demographics (years in US, country of birth, income, education, marital status, age), volunteerism history, social interactions, breast cancer beliefs (cultural beliefs, perceived risks, norms and social interactions concerning breast cancer) and breast cancer screening variables. Survey 2 collect information related to volunteerism history, social interactions, breast cancer beliefs (cultural beliefs, perceived risks, norms and social interactions concerning breast cancer) and breast cancer screening since Survey 1. Survey 3 will collect information related to collect information related to volunteerism history, social interactions, breast cancer beliefs (cultural beliefs, perceived risks, norms and social interactions concerning breast cancer) and breast cancer screening since Survey 1. You do not have to answer any questions that make you uneasy. We will keep the electronic copies of the questionnaires in a password-protected computer in a locked office to protect your privacy.  
If you choose to participate in this project, you have the right to withdraw at any time. You also have the right not to answer any questions in the group.

Title: Empowering Latinas to Obtain Breast Cancer Screenings Principal Investigator: Yamile Molina, PhD
The study is being conducted collaboratively between Centro Comunitario Juan Diego, The Resurrection Project and the University of Illinois at Chicago's School of Public Health. This research is designed to provide major contributions to the science of cancer health equity. Specifically, we are comparing the effectiveness of two types of interventions to improve the breast health of Latinas living in Chicago, IL. One intervention focuses on giving Latinas breast health education. The other intervention focuses on giving Latinas an opportunity to learn not only breast health information, but also information on how to talk to family and friends about breast health as well as volunteer in breast health activities. We are asking you to take part in this research so that we may better understand how to best meet the needs of the Latina women in terms of breast health education.
