September 23, 2015 updated by: Karen Williams, Michigan State University
1) To determine if the Kin KeeperSM Cancer Prevention Intervention increases first time and appropriately timed breast cancer screening rates among Black, Latina and Arab women; 2) To determine if the Kin KeeperSM Cancer Prevention Intervention increase first time and appropriately time cervical cancer screening rates among Black, Latina and Arab women; 3) To measure functional cancer literacy over time at the individual and familial level and 4) Assess rates of healthcare utilization cost among women in the Kin KeeperSM intervention and control-comparison groups.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Cancer prevention intervention
Cancer prevention intervention: Experimental group receives intensive 2 hour education in each breast and cervical cancer risks and prevention intervention, and face to face reading of post intervention surveys by an community health worker.
Active Comparator: Control group receives standard care
The control group receives reading materials and brochures on breast and cervical cancer such as one would receive in a doctors office and post condition surveys. All materials are read by the participant without the interaction or assistance of the community health worker.
