To achieve national health goals set for reduction of cancer by the year 2000, populations with higher cancer mortality and lower survival must be reached with proven advances for use in cancer prevention and early detection. This article focuses on one segment of those populations that continues to have a poor cancer experience: urban, low-income black women. Barriers for them to cancer prevention and early detection are identified and discussed from studies conducted in Chicago. Specifically tailored interventions that have been used to bring services to this population are described, and implications from the outcomes of this work are discussed.
为实现到2000年降低癌症发病率的国家健康目标，必须让癌症死亡率较高且生存率较低的人群受益于经证实的癌症预防和早期检测进展。本文重点关注那些癌症患病情况仍然较差的人群中的一部分：城市低收入黑人女性。通过在芝加哥开展的研究，确定并讨论了她们在癌症预防和早期检测方面面临的障碍。描述了为向这一人群提供服务而专门设计的干预措施，并讨论了这项工作成果所带来的启示。
