TARGET POPULATION Low-income Hispanic Women in Weld County
ABSTRACT
In the space below, please provide a short abstract, not to exceed 200 words, written in
lay terms for release to the general public should this application be chosen for funding.
Weld County Department of Public Health and Environment is requesting funding to continue
an innovative approach to educating women about breast cancer. It is based on the results of a
survey funded by an American Cancer Society grant, which indicated Hispanic women
preferred receiving information either one-on-one or in small groups. This grant would fund
platicas, or discussion groups, that are held in the women's homes and one-on-one education
that is done in the waiting area at several local agencies including the Department of Social
Services, the Health Department and also at health fairs.
The Project Director will provide information about resources available in Weld County for
women for breast cancer screenings as well as education for younger women about breast self-
exams. Women will be recruited to host family and friends for an educational afternoon or
evening to learn about breast cancer prevention. This more personal approach will result in an
increased number of low-income Hispanic women who receive information and education
about breast cancer.
Permission to publish:
Permission is hereby granted to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation, Inc. to publish the •
above abstract should this application be selected for funding.

Project Description:
1. This project will provide education about breast self-exam and mammography
screenings to low-income Hispanic women in Weld County through one-on-one contact at
local agencies and small gatherings, called platicas, held in homes. The Platicas project
has been effective and well received by Hispanic women in the Greeley-Evans area for the
last nine months. In fact, it is so popular that more platicas are being requested. For the
2004-2005 grant period, one-on-one contact will continue at the Weld County Department
of Social Services (DSS), the Weld County Department of Public Health and Environment
(WCDPHE) and community health fairs. We will then expand the outreach education to
new agencies including Our Lady of Peace church, Centennial BOCES and Billy Martinez
elementary school. Although the primary outreach is to Hispanic women, the project
director provides education and information to all women in the waiting areas at these sites
and at the health fairs. Those women who meet the criteria(50 years of age and older or
40-49 with signs and symptoms of breast cancer or a first degree relative with breast
cancer) are offered an appointment for a free mammogram funded by the Colorado
Women's Cancer Control Initiative (CWCCI). Women 40 or younger are invited to host a
platicas in their home to educate relatives and friends in the community. A new video,
Mona's Story, about a local breast cancer survivor has been shown at the platicas and has
been very well received. The project director will accompany clients to appointments for
screening, if needed, for interpretation.
2. Data from the Colorado Central Cancer Registry show there were eleven reported cases
of breast cancer in Hispanic women in Weld County in 2001 and six in 2002. According to
the Susan G Komen Breast Cancer Foundation National Hispanic/Latino Advisory
Council, breast cancer is less common among Hispanic/Latino women, approximately 70
per 100,000. However it is the leading cause of death in this population. The mortality rate
for breast cancer for Colorado females decreased 6% from 1995-99 to 2000; the rate was
down 5% among non-Hispanic whites and did not change among Hispanics, according to
the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The five-year survival rates remain lower
for Hispanic/Latino women than those in other ethnic groups. The reason may be
attributable to the fact that Latinos are more likely to be diagnosed at a later stage when
tumors are larger and harder to treat. Education about breast cancer screening is a
particular challenge in this population because there are few bilingual education programs
and many women do not have health insurance or screening is not covered. There are also
cultural barriers that prevent Hispanic women from getting screened. Breast self-
examination, male physician check ups and fear of pain with mammography are examples. .
The project addresses these barriers and takes breast cancer education to the Hispanic
woman in a culturally acceptable format, one on one and in their homes. Twenty-nine
percent of Weld County's population is Hispanic and the female Hispanic population in
Weld County was 23,143 in 2000. This population is growing each year and it is a
challenge in Weld County to build on the progress that's been made in breast cancer
education and screening.
•
3. The people to be served with this grant are low-income Hispanic women in Weld
County. During 2003, 731 contacts were made at the DSS, WCDPHE and in hostess's
homes. Of those, 43 have qualified for a free mammogram through the CWCCI. It is
estimated that a minimum of 45 women will have one-on-one contact with the program
director each week in the waiting areas at the DSS, WCDPHE, and the new venues
described above. The platicas discussion groups will be held monthly with a minimum of
six women attending. Through this program, 1700 low-income Hispanic women will be
contacted personally about breast cancer screening during the upcoming grant year. This
program will help to increase knowledge of breast cancer prevention and may lead to
earlier detection and higher survival rates among Latino women in Weld County.
4. Objective 1: 45 women a week will be contacted one-on-one about breast self-exam
and mammograms in the waiting areas of the Social Services building, the Health
Department and occasional health fairs. Of the 45, at least five will sign up for
mammograms and PAP tests offered by CWCCI and at least three will sign up to host a
platica.
Measure of accomplishment: The project director will spend four hours per week, three
weeks each month, contacting women at DSS, WCDPHE and health fairs. Records will be
kept on the number of women contacted, screened and scheduled to host platicas.
Objective 2: 12 discussion groups, or platicas, will be held in homes of Hispanic women
during the grant year. Women who attend the platicas will receive educational materials,
i.e., Do It For Life brochure, Breast Health Learn the Facts, Shower Card: Steps to Breast
Self Examination,Questions About Cancer bookmark, HPV and Cervical Cancer
Screening brochure, A Women's Guide to Breast Care brochure, and Latina News: a
quarterly bilingual publication of Y-ME National Breast Cancer Organization and the
Health Department clinic hours schedule.
Measure of accomplishment: Records of the groups, attendance sheets, and evaluations
will be kept, along with number of women who sign up for mammograms and view the
videos.
5. This project is an expansion of the Colorado Women's Cancer Control Initiative
(CWCCI)program currently housed locally at the Weld County Department of Public
Health and Environment. CWCCI provides funding for community outreach, as well as
mammograms and PAP tests for eligible women. Funds from the Komen grant allow the
project director to spend more time doing one-on-one consultation, as well as conduct the
discussion groups, or platicas for women of all ages. Platicas have been well received in
the Greeley-Evans area. Through the platicas evaluations, Hispanic women have
expressed their gratitude and interest to learn more about breast cancer. They have also
requested education on other health topics such as prevention of Sexually Transmitted
Diseases (STDs) in this setting. The platicas'project has been featured in several media
•
venues during the past year, i.e., the Greeley Tribune, Senior Market Place News, and
LatiNoticias (1st Spanish newspaper in Weld County).
6. Over the past nine months, a good working relationship has been established with the
Department of Social Services and the Health Department. Initial contacts have been made
with Our Lady of Peace, Centennial BOCES, Strengthening Latino Families, and Billie
Martinez School parent groups to expand the one-on-one contacts and platicas'project.
Letters supporting this collaboration are included with the grant. Implementation will
begin as soon as funding is received.
7. The Colorado Women's Cancer Control Initiative provides information, as well as
mammograms or PAP tests for eligible women (50 years of age or 40 years old with risk
factors). The Komen grant has allowed us to expand the education outreach to women of
all ages. The video highlighting resources for cancer screening and treatment in Weld
County has become a part of the educational materials used with this project. The video
was developed by the American Cancer Society with Komen funding. The Department of
Social Services, the WCDPHE, Our Lady of Peace, Centennial BOCES, Strengthening
Latino Families and Billie Martinez School parents group are delighted to provide the
opportunity for their clients to receive this education. They will provide the space for their
clients to view the video and speak privately to the coordinator.
8. Funding from the Colorado Women's Cancer Control Initiative was increased this grant
year and this has allowed more time for one-on-one contacts. Education about CWCCI and
the Komen program is provided to WCDPHE public health nurses and health educators so
they can inform clients during clinic visits or community presentations. We have partnered
with other organizations like Our Lady of Peace, Centennial BOCES, and Strengthening
Latino Families and the Department of Social Services who want to offer the breast health
education to their Hispanic and migrant families who desperately need education on health
topics and available community resources.
9. The platicas project is unique in the sense that it offers the opportunity for Hispanic
women to receive education, express their fears and share their personal and family
experiences with breast health problems. This project encourages women of all ages who
are not performing regular breast self-exams to start taking charge of their health. They are
encouraged to seek the professional medical assistance if they notice an abnormality even
if they do not qualify for CWCCI. There are other programs in Weld County that provide
some education and screenings for low-income Hispanic women. In addition to the
screenings provided by CWCCI, Sunrise Community Health Center provides breast cancer
screening for women younger than 40 with no risk factors at the time they have a PAP test.
The Greeley X-ray Group is funding a free mammogram per month to women younger
than 40 with ls`degree family history of breast cancer but not for women with signs and
symptoms of breast cancer. The American Cancer Society received funding to develop a
video in both English and Spanish that highlights the story of a local breast cancer survivor
and the resources available in the community.
•
10. Currently, the platicas project reflects an expansion of CWCCI and the collaboration
with other agencies. The project's success is being measured by the number of women
contacted one-on-one for education, the number of women who indicate they perform
regular breast self exams and also the number who qualify for free mammograms through
the CWCCI program. For the next funding year, pre and posttest questions will be
included in the evaluation. Questions on the frequency of breast self-exam and how the
presentation/discussion influenced the women to do regular breast self exams and seek
screening will be included. This information will help us to measure the intention to do
breast self-exams and seek breast cancer screenings among Hispanic women.
11. The results of this project could be incorporated into statewide cancer control
programs such as CWCCI. If one-on-one and small group education appears to be
successful more funds can be used for that. The project director has approached the
Greeley Tribune, the Senior Market Place News, and LatiNoticias about an article
featuring the discussion groups,platicas, as an innovative method of health education.
This method is working well and can work for other health messages such as STDs in
Hispanic communities. We would like to offer free mammograms for women who do not
fit the CWCCI criteria. Currently, the Greeley X-ray Group is funding a free mammogram
per month to women younger than 40 with 15`degree family history of breast cancer but
not for women with signs and symptoms of breast cancer. We hope to refer women to this
service and look for ways to cooperatively expand the program in the future.
