Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study (MADRE) tests whether using community health workers called promotoras — volunteers recruited from within the Latina community — can increase breast cancer screening rates among Latina women who are behind on mammograms. Volunteers are trained to educate and encourage women in their own social networks. **You may be eligible if...** - You are a Latina woman aged 42 to 74 who has not had a mammogram in the past 2 years and has no prior breast cancer diagnosis - You have no prior history of serving as a community health volunteer **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You do not identify as Latina - You are already up to date with mammogram screening - You have had a previous breast cancer diagnosis - You have already served as a health volunteer before Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
