Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

We will develop and evaluate a community-based approach for disseminating comparative effective reviews (CERs) about breast cancer prevention to African American women. The specific aims of our research, as shown below, will target this population because of persistent disparities in breast cancer morbidity and mortality among this population. Our primary aims are:

1. To evaluate uptake of a community-based strategy for disseminating CERs about breast cancer prevention to African American women based on sociodemographic characteristics, beliefs about medical research, and medical history. We predict that participation in a community forum will be higher among women with greater socioeconomic resources, those who have a family history of breast cancer, and women who have more positive beliefs about research.
2. To evaluate the impact of evidential versus non-evidential content about breast cancer prevention on psychological and behavioral outcomes that include: knowledge of breast cancer risk factors and prevention strategies, communication with individuals in their social and medical network, and distrust of medical research. We predict that women who receive evidential content that is specific for African American women will report greater knowledge about breast cancer risk factors and prevention strategies, will be more likely to discuss breast cancer prevention strategies with individuals in their social and medical network, and will report greater reductions in distrust of medical research compared to those who receive non-evidential content.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Evidential Group

Participants in this group will receive education about breast cancer prevention and specific information about African American women and breast cancer risk.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Comparison of evidential versus non-evidential education on women's breast cancer prevention behaviors

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Participants will be randomized to either the evidential or non-evidential group. Both groups will receive primarily the same information, except one group will receive information that is more tailored to African American women, while participants in the other group will receive general information about breast cancer prevention.

Non-Evidential Group

Participants in this group will receive general information about breast cancer prevention without anything specific to African American women.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Comparison of evidential versus non-evidential education on women's breast cancer prevention behaviors

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Participants will be randomized to either the evidential or non-evidential group. Both groups will receive primarily the same information, except one group will receive information that is more tailored to African American women, while participants in the other group will receive general information about breast cancer prevention.
