Abstract Purpose: This study examined predictive models of the utilization of mammograms among American Indian women adapting Andersen’s behavioral model. Using a sample of 143 American Indian women residing in the Northern Plains. Methods: Data were collected using a self-administered survey completed by 143American Indian women over the age of 45 in the Midwest. Logistic regression analyses were conducted to assess predisposing (age and marital status), need (personal and family cancer history), and enabling factors (education, monthly household income, mammogram screening awareness, breast cancer knowledge, self-rated health, and cultural practice to breast cancer screening). Results: Nested logistic regression analyses indicated that only 55.5% of participants reported having had a breast cancer screening within the past 2 years, whereas 21.0% never had a mammogram test. After controlling for predisposing and need factors, higher education, greater awareness of mammogram, and higher utilization of traditional Native American approaches were significant predictors of mammogram uptake. Conclusions: The findings highlight important implications for intervention strategies aimed at improving breast cancer screening and service use among American Indian women. Educating health professionals and American Indian community members about the importance of breast cancer screening is highly needed. It is critical to assess a woman’s level of traditional beliefs and practices and its possible influence on screening participation and future screening intention. Given the findings, prevention and intervention strategies, including public awareness and education about breast cancer screening are promising avenues to reduce screening disparities among American Indian women.

Community Perspectives

Abstract We offer a framework and exemplify how to integrate multiple community perspectives in research to develop breast cancer screening interventions among Latinas non-adherent to national guidelines. We leverage members of an academic institution’s community consultative service [community engagement advisory board (CEAB) members]; study team members [community health workers (CHWs)] and study-eligible individuals (non-adherent Latinas). First, we asked what was needed from CEAB members (N=17), CHWs (N=14) and non-adherent Latinas (N=20) in one-time semi-structured group consultations and focus groups. Second, we drafted materials. Third, we conducted group consultations and focus groups with a new set of CEAB members (N=13), CHWs (N=17) and non-adherent Latinas (N=16) to reflect on our initial analysis and draft materials. Fourth, we finalized interventions. Certain recommendations were shared across stakeholders and simple to integrate (e.g. costs → access to free services). Some recommendations varied, but complementary integration was possible (e.g. location versus recruitment → multiple recruitment in multiple community areas). Others were distinct across stakeholders and resulted in strategies to recognize participants’ agency and inform their choices about breast cancer screening (e.g. differences in preferred information about screening → personalized information and evidence about all screening options).
