这篇文章的目的是说明研究者如何使用基于力量的模型，如社区准备模型（CRM），来帮助克服生活在美国的拉丁美洲人之间的乳房健康差异。在这篇文章中，我描述了2001年至2002年间在科罗拉多州四个以拉丁裔为主的社区进行的一项CRM研究。首先，对19名关键信息提供者进行访谈，以评估他们认为的社区准备水平，以鼓励拉丁裔人参与乳腺癌预防和控制活动。接下来，3.3名50岁以上的拉丁裔参加了焦点小组，以进一步审查对参加活动的障碍和促进因素的看法。最后，进行了14次一对一访谈，以澄清和扩展主要举报人和焦点小组参与者提供的信息。我们通过创建和测试（22名拉丁裔）乳房健康教育材料将这项研究与实践联系起来，这些材料以一种文化敏感的方式解决了拉丁裔人参与这些救生活动的主要问题。
The aim of this article is to illustrate how investigators can use a strength-based model, such as the Community Readiness Model (CRM), to help overcome breast health disparities among Latinas living in the United States. In this effort, I describe a CRM study conducted between the years 2001 and 2002 in four predominantly Latino communities in Colorado. First, 19 key informants were interviewed to assess their perceived level of community readiness to encourage Latinas participation in breast cancer prevention and control activities. Next, 3.3 Latinas over the age of 50 participated in focus groups to further examine perceptions of barriers and,facilitative factors to participate in the activities. Lastly, 14 one-on-one interviews were conducted to clarify and expand on the information provided by key informants and focus group participants. We bridged this research to practice by creating and testing (with 22 Latinas) breast health educational materials that address in a culturally sensitive manner Latinas' main concerns about participating in these lifesaving activities.
