The purpose of this study was to determine if low-income Hispanic women, more than 40 years of age, who received targeted cancer prevention education ( n = 105) had a significantly greater perceived threat of breast cancer, greater benefits and lower barriers to screening, and stronger intentions to obtain mammograms compared to a control group ( n = 105).
