It is proven to be effective in promoting cervical cancer screening (Pap tests) among Latinas ages 21 to 65. This program is important because Latinas are less likely to receive a Pap test. Latinas also have a high incidence of cervical cancer and are at high risk of dying from cervical cancer. AMIGAS stands for “Ayudando a Las Mujeres con Información, Guía y Amor para su Salud.” In English, this means “Helping Women with Information, Guidance, and Love for their Health.” AMIGAS is designed to help promotoras, community health workers, or other lay health educators increase cervical cancer screening among Latinas who have rarely or never had a Pap test.  \nAMIGAS can help you achieve your cervical cancer screening goals while building goodwill in the community. We know AMIGAS works because it was developed by and tested with the women it is designed to help. From the start, research partners worked with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to engage the Latino community in the development of AMIGAS. Research partners were from the University of Texas Health Sciences Center Houston School of Public Health and Battelle Centers for Public Health Research and Evaluation. Latinas from multiple communities shared their beliefs and experiences. These communities include El Paso and Houston, Texas; San Diego and Fresno, California; and Yakima, Washington. Skilled promotoras and program administrators working in a variety of settings provided expert advice and review. A rigorous community trial showed that AMIGAS works in a one-on-one setting. AMIGAS increased screening by as much as 33% in the communities where it was tested.  \nPromotora workshops provided valuable feedback on the program’s use in group settings. The AMIGAS program is a proven health education model that:  \n• Provides a best practice you can use to increase cervical cancer screening.  \n• Collaborates with women who have been identified as natural helpers, linkpersons, consejeras or promotoras in the community to deliver the education.  \n• Stresses how information and skills in the program will help women, their families, and their communities stay healthy.  \n• Provides bilingual information that is culturally appropriate.  \n• Uses naturally occurring social networks to recruit women into the program. The AMIGAS Program has an Administrator’s Guide, a Promotora Instruction Guide, and materials to assemble a tool box. This document, the Administrator’s Guide, is for the program manager or administrator. The AMIGAS Administrator’s Guide provides the information and steps that administrators can take to implement AMIGAS successfully. The AMIGAS Administrator’s Guide includes the following sections:  \n• Program Purpose and Benefits (Section 1) .  \n• Program History and Development (Section 2) .  \nii Administrator’s Guide  \n• Program Overview (Section 3) .  \n• Make a Commitment to AMIGAS (Section 4) .  \n• Get Ready (Section 5) .  \n• Get Started (Section 6) .  \n• Keep It Going (Section 7) .  \n• Make It Better (Section 8) .  \nThis Guide can help you decide if AMIGAS is the right program for your organization. Section 1 provides information about the benefits of using AMIGAS in your organization and community. Sections 2 and 3 provide more information about how AMIGAS was developed and what it contains. Section 4 provides more detail about the resources that you will need. We hope these sections convince you to make a commitment to implement AMIGAS.  \nIf you decide AMIGAS is a good fit for you, sections 5 through 8 will help you lay the foundation for a successful program. Sections 5 and 6 provide guidance on preparing your community, organization, and promotoras to be ready for AMIGAS. Sections 7 and 8 will help you improve your program over time and sustain it for the future.  \nAppendices to this Guide provide certain detailed information:  \n• Tool box asse","cbCaij11Lk99thyh","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaij11Lk99thyh","pdf",4327113,112,"English","# Executive Summary\n## Program Purpose and Benefits\n## Program History and Development\n## Program Overview\n## Make a Commitment to AMIGAS\n## Get Ready\n## Get Started\n## Keep It Going\n## Make It Better\n## Appendices","[{\"question\":\"What is AMIGAS and who is it designed to serve?\",\"answer\":\"AMIGAS is a bilingual educational outreach program designed to help promotoras, community health workers, and other lay educators increase cervical cancer screening among Latinas aged 21 to 65 who have rarely or never had a Pap test.\"},{\"question\":\"How does AMIGAS help improve cervical cancer screening outcomes?\",\"answer\":\"AMIGAS uses culturally appropriate bilingual information, emphasizes information and skills that support women and their communities, and leverages naturally occurring social networks to recruit women.
