Early detection of breast cancer via screening mammography has been shown to improve options for treatment, outcomes, and survival. Despite the success of screening mammography, screening adherence remains critical for clinical outcomes. This study explored the effect of a reminder system with educational materials on breast cancer knowledge and screening practices among primarily African-American women in North Florida. The participants were divided into two groups: the experimental group, which received this reminder system, and a control group, which did not. Both groups were surveyed using a questionnaire that included nine true or false questions regarding breast cancer facts, statistics, and screening guidelines. The experimental group scored significantly higher [t (138) = 2.60, p \u003C .010] than the control group regarding breast cancer knowledge. Based on this study, a reminder system can be recommended as an effective intervention for increasing breast cancer knowledge.  \nKeywords Breast Cancer Screening, Reminder System, Cancer Prevention  \n1. Introduction  \nBreast cancer is the second most common cancer among women in the United States behind non-melanoma skin cancer [1] . It is also the second leading cause of cancer death among women behind lung cancer [1] . According to the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) there were 236,968 women in the US diagnosed with breast cancer and 41,211 women dying from the disease in 2014  \n(the latest year for which data is available) [2,3] . While breast cancer incidence and mortality rates have been decreasing overall, a clear racial disparity still persists [4,5,6] . The incidence trends measured by the CDC from 2000 to 2013 show that breast cancer has decreased significantly by 1.12% per year among white women while it has actually increased significantly by 1.05% per year among black women during the same time period [7] . Infact, breast cancer is currently the number one most common cancer among black women in the US [1] .  \nThe purpose of this study was to increase breast cancer knowledge and screening intention among African-American women in Leon and Gadsden County, Florida by instituting a reminder system known as “A Friends Is She Who Reminds Me” (AFISWRM)[8,9,10,11] . By utilizing the construct of “cues to action”within the Health Belief Model coupled with the“behavioral intention” construct within the Integrated Model of Behavior Change, this intervention aimed to not only prompt but also reinforce mammogram screening usage among the women who participate in a complimentary mammography services initiative.  \nA screening mammogram is an x-ray picture of the breast used to check for tumors and microcalcifications among women with no signs or symptoms of the diseases [7] . The American Cancer Society (ACS) maintains that detecting breast cancer early before there are symptoms such as lumps has been credited for saving thousands of lives every year [1,12] . Symptoms of breast cancer usually indicate that the tumor is larger and most likely have already spread beyond the breast tissue. Since black women are more likely to be diagnosed with breast cancer at stage II than stage I, have a larger tumor size, and a higher tumor grade, they are at a much greater risk by the time the cancer is id","cbCaihhhB8obxO3B","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaihhhB8obxO3B","pdf",290861,8,"English","# Introduction\n## Purpose and research question\n## Screening mammography and early detection\n## Disparities and targeted intervention\n## Prior evidence on invitation and educational strategies","[{\"question\":\"What was the main purpose of the reminder system intervention?\",\"answer\":\"To increase breast cancer knowledge and screening intention among African-American women in the study community by using a reminder system with educational materials.\"},{\"question\":\"How were participants assigned to the experimental and control groups?\",\"answer\":\"Participants were divided into an experimental group that received the reminder system and a control group that did not receive the reminder.\"},{\"question\":\"How did the intervention affect breast cancer knowledge scores?\",\"answer\":\"The experimental group scored significantly higher than the control group on questionnaire items covering breast cancer facts, statistics, and screening guidelines.\"}]","Reminder System Intervention for Increasing Breast Cancer Knowledge and Screening | PDF"]
