What is the Purpose of this Study?
The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether a curriculum called “Faith in Action!” increases adherence to breast cancer screening guidelines among Korean American women within faith-based settings. Specifically, individuals who attend a Korean church in Los Angeles county are invited to train to become health navigators/ educators to increase breast cancer screening in their church community.
