Abstract
ABSTRACTBreast cancer rates for African American women are lower than that of their White peers, yet their mortality rate is disproportionately higher. This study sought to address the disparity through a community-based primary prevention study targeting African American women in the Black church utilizing the public health model of primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention. The study centered on the meaningful intersection of race, gender, and faith as key factors in increasing breast health knowledge and breast cancer risk factors. The results reveal that African American women respond positively to intervention models centered on salient aspects of their identity.
