A recent opportunity to work on an educational breast health campaign with and for the Latina/Hispanic community found me and I reconnected to my Hispanic roots. Soon after, I met with Beth to discuss a project, spurred from her study, to provide culturally appropriate educational resources about breast health and dense breast tissue in Spanish, along with video featuring Hispanic/Latina women. (Early Matters: Providing Opportunities With Educational Resources for Early Detection) campaign was born. Breast health resources in Spanish, including a compelling video, are now available to educate women about the importance of their breast health. Breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths in Hispanic/Latina women as they are more likely to be diagnosed with advanced stage breast cancer compared to the white non-hispanic population.
