A comprehensive breast and cervical cancer early detection program supported by federal and state funds and administered by the Connecticut Department of Public Health, is actively recruiting and screening older, uninsured, low income women at contracted health-care facilities throughout the state. The program provides diagnostic testing, treatment referral, outreach, and educational activities. During the first 27 months of the program, 5,509 women were enrolled and screened. Women were recruited primarily through media sources and physician/nurse referrals. The majority of women served were non-Hispanic white, between ages 40 to 59, with annual incomes of less than $10,000, and a high school education or less. Some 62% of enrolled women either never had a mammogram or did not have a repeat mammogram within the time-frames recommended by ACS. Recruitment efforts continue to enroll medically underserved women for breast and cervical cancer screening services. Future efforts will focus on rescreening in order to achieve the program's overall mission of detecting breast and cervical cancers at earlier stages.
一项由联邦和州资金支持、由康涅狄格州公共卫生部管理的综合性乳腺癌和宫颈癌早期检测项目，正在该州各地的签约医疗机构积极招募和筛查年龄较大、未参保、低收入的女性。该项目提供诊断检测、治疗转诊、外展和教育活动。在项目的前27个月，有5509名女性登记并接受了筛查。女性主要通过媒体渠道以及医生/护士转诊招募而来。所服务的女性大多数是非西班牙裔白人，年龄在40至59岁之间，年收入低于1万美元，且受教育程度为高中或更低。约62%登记的女性要么从未进行过乳房X光检查，要么未在美国癌症协会建议的时间范围内进行复查乳房X光检查。招募工作继续为医疗服务不足的女性提供乳腺癌和宫颈癌筛查服务。未来的工作将集中在重新筛查上，以实现该项目在更早阶段检测乳腺癌和宫颈癌的总体使命。
