This project is focused on increasing screening for breast, cervical, and colorectal cancers within the populations served by community, migrant, and homeless health centers, as well as on improving free grants follow-up for patients with abnormal screening results. Health center personnel are learning how small, incremental changes in clinic practices (e.g., linking screening to nonroutine clinic visits) can lead to improved health outcomes for the populations they serve. They are being taught how to plan free grants and pilot-test such changes as well as how to assess and use test results free grants in implementing effective changes. Another important CDC partner, Avon, makes available about $5 million every year to help community-based organizations recruit women for breast cancer screening. During 2003, Avon is working to improve links between these organizations and NBCCEDP grantees. Also, through the Avon-CDC Foundation Mobile Access Program, a grant of more than $4 million will fund at least four mammography vans to expand services for medically underserved women through NBCCEDP.
