Abstract:
The Women's Health Alliance Intervention Study is a quasi-experimental intervention designed to test if county-based coalitions can increase breast and cervical cancer screening compliance among women aged 40 years and older living in rural communities. A number of interventions were designed and implemented by coalitions in four counties in north-central Wisconsin during a 2-year period. Four control counties in southwestern Wisconsin were identified for comparison. Judging from the results of this study, community-based intervention efforts can increase breast and cervical cancer screening compliance significantly among women living in rural communities.
