A community-based intervention project on Long Island was supported by the National Cancer Institute to increase the use of mammography and breast physical examination among older women. During a 1-year period 526 women aged 50 and older attended educational sessions presented by the project staff conducted in the community in a variety of settings. Sixty-eight percent (355) of the women who participated provided identifying data and completed pre- and post-session surveys while 40% (210) also completed a mail survey 6-12 months later. Screening behavior improved subsequent to the intervention, at follow-up 61% had taken some related action. More than half of the 109 women who had a mammogram after attending the session indicated that the presentation influenced them to do so. The use of a game created a positive atmosphere for conveying information about a sensitive subject and encouraged discussion among women who had a variety of experiences with screening.
长岛的一个基于社区的干预项目得到了美国国家癌症研究所的支持，旨在提高老年女性对乳房X光检查和乳房体格检查的使用率。在为期1年的时间里，526名50岁及以上的女性参加了由项目工作人员在社区的各种场所举办的教育课程。参与项目的女性中有68%（355名）提供了身份识别数据并完成了课前和课后调查，而40%（210名）的女性还在6至12个月后完成了邮件调查。干预后筛查行为有所改善，在随访时，61%的女性采取了一些相关行动。在参加课程后进行乳房X光检查的109名女性中，超过一半表示该课程促使她们这样做。一款游戏的使用为传达关于敏感主题的信息营造了积极的氛围，并鼓励有各种筛查经历的女性之间展开讨论。
