Abstract
- This study evaluated the feasibility, acceptability, and potential effect of a small-group video intervention led by trained Chinese American lay educators who recruited Chinese American women not up to date on mammography screening. Nine lay educators conducted 14 Breast Health Tea Time Workshops in community settings and private homes that started with watching a culturally tailored video promoting screening followed by a question-and-answer session and distribution of print materials. Many group attendees did not have health insurance or a regular doctor, had low levels of income, and were not proficient in English. Forty-four percent of the attendees reported receipt of a mammogram within 6 months after the small-group session, with higher odds of screening among women who had lived in the United States less than 10% of their lifetime. Four of the educators were very interested in conducting another group session in the next 6 months.
