Study Summary

This trial will evaluate if providing culturally tailored mammography education & patient navigator support helps White Mountain Apache women get mammograms when referred.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for American Indian or Alaska Native women who need a mammogram and live near the Fort Apache Indian Reservation. They can't have had a mammogram in the last year, a personal history of breast cancer, plans to move soon, or be unwilling to be randomly assigned to a group.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study compares two ways to encourage breast cancer screening: CARE (a tailored education module) and CARE+COACH (CARE plus help from an Apache health coach). Women will be put into one of these groups by chance.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial focuses on educational interventions rather than medications, there are no direct medical side effects. However, participants may experience anxiety or discomfort related to discussing medical procedures.
