Patient Navigated Latinas
Non Navigated Latinas
Patient navigators provided culturally sensitive support and guidance to Latina women who presented radiologic abnormalities categorized as BI-RADS 3, 4 and 5. Patient Navigators also collected clinical information from the patients' medical charts.
A convenience sampling approach was used to recruit non navigated Latinas. Eligibility criteria targeted self-identified Latinas at community-based health clinics, aged > 18 years with an abnormal breast screening mammogram resulting in BI-RADS 3, 4 or 5. Controls were chosen by determining eligibility consecutively backwards from the study start date.
