Abstract

Background. This paper describes the results of a study of a multimedia breast cancer educational intervention for low‐education, low‐income Latinas. Methods. Study participants were first exposed to an interactive, multimedia breast cancer educational intervention and then interviewed four months later to ascertain their mammography status. Results. About 40% of the women who had either obtained or scheduled mammography since the intervention attributed their decision to the intervention. Conclusion. Women who had previously been screened and who understood that mammography was used as a breast cancer screening method were more likely to have scheduled or obtained mammography than other women.
