Intervention

Behavioral:
• Unidas por Vida y Salud prevention program
The Unidas por Vida y Salud (United for Life and Health) prevention program is led by the El Paso Cancer and Chronic Disease Consortium (CCDC), the only Breast and Cervical Cancer Services (BCCS) provider in El Paso. This prevention program will use a well-integrated network of community organizations and health service providers to connect medically underserved women to services. To reach the most underserved women and increase preventive cancer screening and timely follow-up, diagnosis, and treatment, the multi-method approach uses evidence-based strategies, including face-to-face educational sessions led by promotoras (community health workers), client reminders, and provision of community-based navigation services to affordable and free screening services. The program also includes clinic-based navigation for those requiring diagnostics or treatment delivered by trained nurses and case workers.
