Abstract C81: A systematic review of breast cancer screening strategies for African American women

CONCLUSION: Despite knowledge of disparities in breast cancer mortality for AAW and the impact of screening mammography on breast cancer mortality, there is a paucity of evidence on interventional strategies to increase the participation of AAW in screening mammography. The limited evidence available suggests that interventional strategies that incorporate mass media communication, family and social support networks, and nurse navigation increased the number of AAW who participate in screening mammography.Citation Format: Shana O.
