Despite advances in the ability to detect breast cancer at an early stage, mortality rates are disproportionately high for some segments of our population, including women of color, elders and women affected by poverty. These trends could be offset by efforts to increase community knowledge about breast cancer, encourage mammography and breast self-examination and reduce delays in seeking medical attention. The purpose of the Memorial Breast Cancer Education and Outreach Project (BCP) is to enhance breast cancer education, screening and follow-up services by offering psychosocial education, technical assistance and opportunities for information exchange to providers attempting to reach undeserved women. The BCP has three components: (1) Observership: This component will offer educational opportunities which are accessible and relevant to providers in undeserved communities. The curriculum will concentrate on psychosocial issues in key areas such as: raising public awareness about breast cancer; initiating and adhering to mammography; encouraging breast self-examination; reducing delayed presentation of symptoms; and understanding familial risk. Six seven week observership cycles (for 8-10 observers/cycle) will be offered to professional and paraprofessional staff from local health care facilities and other related institutions. Observers will participate in six observer-faculty seminars, site visit existing screening programs, and learn about the development of educational materials and existing cancer-related resources; 2) Collaborative Consultation: The Collaborative Consultation component will allow faculty to provide on-going assistance and support to Observer~s agencies in their efforts to put new or enhanced programs in place. Consultation activities may include program development and translation, in-service training, needs assessment, assistance with evaluation, or proposal writing. BCP faculty members will carry an annual consultation caseload of up to two agencies, allowing us to work intensively with eight agencies per year. 3) Information Exchange Network: After completion of the Observership program, we anticipate that many providers will want to stay connected to fellow observers, and to keep up to date on psychosocial issues in breast cancer. The BCP will support these efforts by sponsoring an annual conference and a twice-yearly newsletter featuring activities of observers and consultees, as well as other information concerning breast cancer. The Network offers a way for members to share resources, strategies and identify opportunities for collaboration. Information Exchange Network activities will be geared to the needs and interests of past BCP participants, but will be open to any provider concerned about breast cancer in undeserved communities.

尽管早期发现乳腺癌的能力取得了进步 阶段，某些细分市场的死亡率不成比例地高 我们的人口，包括有色人种女性、老年人和妇女 受贫困影响。 这些趋势可以通过以下努力来抵消： 提高社区对乳腺癌的认识，鼓励 乳房X光检查和乳房自我检查，减少延误 寻求医疗救助。 纪念乳房的目的 癌症教育和外展项目（BCP）旨在增强乳房 通过提供癌症教育、筛查和随访服务 心理社会教育、技术援助和机会 与试图达到不当目的的提供者进行信息交换 女性。 BCP 包含三个组成部分： (1) 观察员身份：这 组件将提供易于获得的教育机会 并与不值得社区的提供者相关。 这 课程将集中于关键领域的心理社会问题，例如 作为：提高公众对乳腺癌的认识；发起和 坚持乳房X光检查；鼓励乳房自我检查； 减少症状的延迟出现；和理解 家族风险。 六个七周的观察周期（8-10 观察员/周期）将提供给专业人员和辅助专业人员 来自当地医疗保健机构和其他相关机构的工作人员。 观察员将参加六场观察员教师研讨会、实地考察 现有的筛查计划，并了解其发展情况 教育材料和现有的癌症相关资源； 2） 协作咨询： 协作咨询 组件将允许教师提供持续的帮助和 支持观察员机构努力推出新的或 强化计划到位。 咨询活动可能包括 程序开发和翻译、在职培训、需求 评估、评估协助或提案撰写。 业务流程 教职员工每年将承担多达 两个机构，使我们能够与八个机构密切合作 每年。 3）信息交换网络：建成后 观察员计划，我们预计许多提供商将 希望与其他观察员保持联系并了解最新动态 关于乳腺癌的心理社会问题。 BCP将支持 这些努力通过赞助年度会议和每年两次的 介绍观察员和咨询者活动的时事通讯，以及 以及有关乳腺癌的其他信息。 网络提供 成员共享资源、策略和识别的一种方式 合作的机会。信息交换网络 活动将适应过去 BCP 的需求和利益 参与者，但将对任何关注的提供商开放 乳腺癌发生在不值得的社区。
