Summary

The proposed project will compare two ways to apply a known-effective cancer educational strategy through African American churches: 1) a standard method vs. 2) a new method in which the churches integrate the strategy into their organizational structure and practice at multiple levels. It will be determined whether this "integrated approach" results in more effective and sustained cancer education and screening activities at both the church and individual levels over time. This project will make important contributions to research in evidence-based medicine and sustainability. In a climate of limited resources, identifying sustainable and effective ways to increase cancer awareness and screening in African American men and women is more important than ever.

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Integrated ApproachExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
In this approach, rather than developing a separate health ministry, cancer activities could be integrated throughout existing church ministries (e.g. men's, women's, seniors).
Group II: Standard ComparisonActive Control1 Intervention
Standard group churches will not be asked to, or provided special encouragement to technical assistance with, institutionalizing health promotion activities in their churches.
