| Session Title: Successful Strategies for Breast and Cervical Cancer Screening Among American Indian and Alaska Native Women This session describes the overall design, participatory approach, and findings from a multi-year comparative case study project to identify and describe successful strategies used by tribes and tribal organizations to deliver breast and cervical cancer screening and follow-up services to American Indian and Alaska Native women. These services are delivered through the American Indian/Alaska Native Initiative of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) National Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program (NBCCEDP). Papers presented in this session describe the Initiative, the participatory approach and comparative case study design employed, the range of organizational models that tribes use to administer the screening program and deliver services to Native women, detailed descriptions of tribal programs, and our case study findings. A central feature of this project is its participatory nature, involving a collaborative partnership between project research staff and tribal programs. This session will describe how the project was organized and conducted to support high levels of program participation from initial conception through data collection, analysis, and dissemination. Key findings presented will include strategies funded programs have successfully employed in getting their cancer screening services started and in making the transition to sustained service delivery, with attention given to the such issues as service population size, diversity, and distribution. Our findings should be more generally applicable to those interested in participatory research and to other tribes considering the development of comprehensive cancer screening programs. | ||||
