Brief Summary
This four-and-a-half-year study will test the efficacy of viewing a theoretically based and culturally sensitive video followed by group discussion (vs. single viewing) in increasing mammography use. The results of this study will lead cancer control efforts to effectively decrease breast cancer screening disparities experienced by Chinese-America women.

Primary Outcomes (1)
3rd interview about receipt of mammography screening
Measure the effect of small group video discussion on mammography screening adherence.
6-month post-intervention
Secondary Outcomes (1)
4th interview about receipt of mammography screening
21-month post-intervention
Study Arms (2)
watch DVD and small group discussion
EXPERIMENTALParticipants will watch the video in a group and discuss the video.
watch video only
PLACEBO COMPARATORwatch a 22 minutes long video at home by herself.
Interventions
Women in the small-group discussion mode will be called by their community educators to determine possible dates, times, and places for group meetings. The small group sessions will be conducted near the participants' homes. Each small-group will consist of 5-10 participants who will first view a 20-minute video together and then discuss the content of the video as well as their barriers to screening for about 30 minutes. A community educator and an RA at the study site will facilitate the discussion in Chinese languages according to a structured guide.
Women in the single video mode will receive a cultural video along with an information sheet on local free and low-cost screening programs by mail.
