Cancer Education Materials

[Guest guest]

The National Center for Farmworker Health would like to announce the

completion and availability of a bilingual comprehensive cancer

curriculum, and breast and cervical cancer program and educational

materials for farmworker women. The overall intent of the program is to

increase breast and cervical cancer screening in your community.

The program is entitled: Cultivando la Salud, and is funded by the

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The breast and cervical

cancer program contains a training curriculum for trainers, a program

manual for program planners and/or people interested in implementing

such a program, and a teaching guide, video, and flip chart for

promotoras/health educators to use during their educational sessions in

the community.

The comprehensive cancer curriculum is a bilingual curriculum that

contains a variety of cancer topics to educate the farmworker community

on cancer prevention.

All of these tools have been tested and are currently available through

our resource center. If interested please contact the resource center

for pricing and ordering information.

,

Thank you very much for sending out this notice.

We in the Coastal Region of the Cancer Information Service, a program of the

NCI, are very interested in seeing and possibly using some of the bilingual

comprehensive cancer curricula, as well as the educational materials

specifically for farmworker women. I will go ahead and order these

resources, and may be calling you when I get them to discuss their

application and utility among the Hispanic and farmworker populations in

Florida, Puerto Rico and the USVI.

Saludos cordiales,
