Randomized Controlled Trial
A cluster randomized controlled trial to increase breast cancer screening among African American women: the black cosmetologists promoting health program.
African American women have disproportionately higher rates of breast cancer mortality than all other ethnic groups, thus highlighting the importance of promoting early detection. ⋯ Cosmetologists are in an ideal position to increase African American women's breast cancer knowledge and adherence to breast cancer screening guidelines.
