“…This article contributes to the existing literature on faith-based cancer screening activities (Duan et al, 2000;Erwin et al, 1999;Fox et al, 1998;Husaini et al, 2002). Much of this literature is descriptive (Davis et al, 1994;Derose et al, 2000;Mann et al, 2000;Markens, Fox, Taub, & Gilbert, 2002;Sherrod & Richardson, 2003;Stockdale et al, 2000), but this study used logistic regression techniques to assess the impact of a breast cancer intervention on mammography use. Generally, previous research has reported the effectiveness of interventions either for African American women or Latinas, but this article assessed the effectiveness for both populations in separate models.…”

This article assessed the impact of knowledge of breast cancer and type and intensity of participation in a church-based breast cancer education program and other factors on mammography screening among African Americans and Latinas. Logistic regression was used to assess the impact of these factors on self-reported mammography utilization. Passive participation in church-sponsored activities, measured by breast cancer information that was heard, seen, or read, was found to be significantly associated with the likelihood of mammography use among African Americans. Moreover, African Americans who reported hearing, seeing, or reading about mammograms at their churches four or more times were 15 times more likely to report mammography use within the past year than were those who encountered information only once. Messages from pastors and church bulletin announcements were the most significant predictors. An increase in knowledge was not associated with higher mammography use. For Latinas, none of the hypothesized knowledge or participation variables was found to be significant. The results suggest that faith-based breast cancer programs can be effective by adopting tailored strategies to raise awareness about the importance of early detection.

“…Outreach is also an effective intervention for reducing health disparities. Sherrod & Richardson (2003) described an outreach strategy for faith‐based programs called “Tell a Friend,” which encourages African American women to have mammogram screening. For another community‐based program called “Taking Control of Your Health,” Spanish‐speaking Hispanics with chronic diseases were recruited from churches, community centers, and clinics; the program evaluation demonstrated positive changes in health behaviors, health status, and use of health care services (Lorig, Ritter, & Gonzalez, 2003).…”

Public health nurses (PHNs) use the intervention of outreach to improve health status by locating "at-risk" or "of interest" populations, providing information about health concerns and linking the population to resources to address the health concerns. The purpose of this study was to analyze PHNs' use of the intervention of outreach. Knowledge about best practices can contribute to the ability to successfully implement outreach activities. The descriptive qualitative study involved interviewing 10 Minnesota PHNs. Findings suggest strategies to increase outreach effectiveness. Recommendations include providing education on population-based concepts, such as community assessment and at-risk populations, and using interventions from the Public Health Intervention Wheel in conjunction with outreach.

Underserved populations face many barriers to health care that include lack of personal resources such as limited income, lack of or inadequate health care insurance, and limited community health care recourses. Nursing case management is an outcome-oriented model and is well suited to address these obstacles to care with interventions of resource identification, coordination of care, and promotion of self-sufficiency. This article will outline health care barriers for residents of a Housing First program, describe the implementation of a nursing case management model for these residents, discuss barrier reduction interventions, and present the related outcomes on acute care and preventative health care services. Implications of the model and outcomes are discussed.
