Proposed Project

    Formative Research on Issues Related to the Use of Mass Media in 
African American Women--New--National Center for Chronic Disease 
Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control 
and Prevention (CDC).

Background

    Women's health programs, including the National Breast and Cervical 
Cancer Early Detection Program (NBCCEDP), offer low-cost or free breast 
cancer screening to uninsured, low-income women. In 1991, CDC 
established the NBCCEDP to increase breast and cervical cancer 
screening among uninsured, underserved, low-income women. To date, over 
1.5 million women have received services from NBCCEDP-sponsored 
programs. Yet NBCCEDP-sponsored programs are estimated to reach only 
18% of women 50 years old and older who are eligible for screening 
services. A research priority for the NBCCEDP is to identify effective 
strategies to increase enrollment among eligible women who have never 
received breast or cervical cancer screening. Why women do not 
participate in this screening is not well understood.
    The purpose of this task is to conduct formative research to better 
understand how low-income African-American women might use TV/radio as 
sources of health information and identify the particular formats, 
programs, stations, and hours the targeted women listen. This task will 
examine how African-American women get information on community issues, 
services, and events and determine if these can be used as viable means 
to disseminate information on health services. The only cost to 
respondent is their time. The estimated annualized burden is 240 hours.
