A community-based approach to address lung cancer screening disparities in the black community using the Witness Project® framework
Open AccessLisa Carter‐harri, Jamie S Ostroff et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2025
The community-based, culturally tailored approach, coupled with the involvement of trusted community leaders, has the potential to reduce disparities in lung cancer outcomes. Further research is needed to assess the long-term impact and cost-effectiveness of Witness Project ® Lung in promoting lung screening uptake and improving health outcomes within underserved populations
Trust and Mistrust in Shaping Adaptation and De-Implementation in the Context of Changing Screening Guidelines
Rachel C Shelton, Laura E Brotzman et al.ARTICLEEthnicity & Disease2021
Findings highlight that trust and mistrust are important but understudied social determinants of health among AAs that should be considered in implementation science as they: 1) have critical implications for shaping health inequities; and 2) help explain and contextualize why new screening guidelines may not be fully embraced in the AA community
Translating new science into the community to promote opportunities for breast and cervical cancer prevention among African American women
Open AccessElisa M Rodríguez, Lina Jandorf et al.ARTICLEHealth Expectations2020
BACKGROUND: New evidence has found breast and cervical cancer risk factors unique to African American women. Thus, there is a significant need to increase their knowledge and understanding of relevant risk factors and the potential protective benefits associated with breast-feeding and HPV vaccination. The National Witness Project is a robust, evidence- and community-based lay health advisor programme that uses group education, navigation and sur…
Predicting Colonoscopy Screening Behavior and Future Screening Intentions for African Americans Older than 50 Years
Lynne Klasko-Foster, Lynne B Klasko-Foster et al.ARTICLEBehavioral Medicine2018
African Americans experience a disproportionate burden of morbidity and mortality from colorectal cancer, which may be due to low adherence to screening recommendations. Previous studies have found relationships between decision-making factors and screening behavior, but few have looked at both cognitive and affective factors or within a specifically African American sample. To better understand determinants that drive screening behavior, this st…

Narrative communication in cancer prevention and control
Matthew W Kreuter, Melanie C Green et al.ARTICLEAnnals of Behavioral Medicine2007
Narrative forms of communication-including entertainment education, journalism, literature, testimonials, and storytelling-are emerging as important tools for cancer prevention and control. To stimulate critical thinking about the role of narrative in cancer communication and promote a more focused and systematic program of research to understand its effects, we propose a typology of narrative application in cancer control. We assert that narrati…
