Low-income African American women face numerous barriers to mammography screening. We tested the efficacy of a combined interactive computer program and lay health advisor (LHA) intervention to increase mammography screening. In this randomized, single blind study, participants were 181 African American female health center patients ages 41-75, ≤250% of poverty level with no breast cancer history and no screening mammogram in the past 15 months. They were assigned to either (a) a low dose comparison group consisting of a culturally appropriate mammography screening pamphlet or (b) interactive, tailored computer instruction at baseline and 4 monthly LHA counseling sessions. Self-reported screening data were collected at baseline and 6 months and verified by medical record. For intent-to-treat analysis of primary outcome (medical-record-verified mammography screening, available on all but two participants), the intervention group had increased screening to 51% (45/89) compared to 18% (16/90) for the comparison group at 6 months. When adjusted for employment status, disability, first-degree relatives with breast cancer, health insurance, and previous breast biopsies, the intervention group was three times more likely (adjusted relative risk [RR]=2.7 [95% CI: 1.8, 3.7], p<.0001) to get screened than the low dose comparison group. Similar results were found for self-reported mammography stage of screening adoption. The combined intervention was efficacious in improving mammography screening in low-income African American women, with an unadjusted effect size (RR = 2.84) significantly higher (p < .05) than previous studies of each intervention alone.
