WE-CARE Community Health Forums to Increase Breast Cancer Screening and Clinical Trial Participation for Rural and Low Income Women

10 september 2026 uppdaterad av: Mayo Clinic

A Community Engagement Approach to Increasing Breast Cancer Screening and Clinical Trial Participation in Low Income and Rural Populations ('WE-CARE')

This clinical trial tests how well the Women's Engagement for Cancer Awareness, Resources, and Education (WE-CARE) community health forums work to increase breast cancer screening and clinical trial participation for rural and low income women. Despite advances in breast cancer diagnosis and treatment in the past decade, rural-dwelling and underserved women, and Black, Indigenous, and people of color continue to experience low rates of breast cancer screening. Since the survival rate for breast cancer is largely dependent on stage at which it is diagnosed, later stage breast cancer is correlated to a poorer prognosis and higher mortality rate. The WE-CARE community health forms address structural barriers through culturally tailored educational sessions on breast cancer risk, screening and clinical trials, survivor storytelling to humanize cancer and research and patient navigation to facilitate mammogram screening and address barriers. The WE-CARE community health forums may be an effective way to increase breast cancer screening and clinical trial participation for rural and low income women.

Deltagargrupp / Arm
Intervention / Behandling
Experimentell: Health services research (WE-CARE forum)
Patients attend a WE-CARE community forum, over 2 hours. At the forum, patients attend educational sessions on breast cancer risk, screening and clinical trials as well as survivor storytelling sessions by community companions who have participated in clinical research for breast cancer. Patients also receive navigation support to facilitate mammography, address barriers, support scheduling, coordinate follow-up, and provide real-time guidance on screening and matching with clinical trials or registries.
