Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to increase screening mammography among Black women by implementing and evaluating a culturally tailored patient-centric program designed to address barriers to screening. By performing a randomized clinical trial, this study aims to develop effective strategies to improve adherence to screening mammography and contribute to reducing health disparities in breast cancer outcomes.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
No-show rate
Defined as the proportion of participants who do not complete (or do not reschedule) their screening mammogram appointment within 6 months of randomization.
6 months after randomization
Study Arms (2)
Arm 1: Usual Care
ACTIVE COMPARATORPatients will receive the institution's usual care for screening mammogram, which consists of an automated reminder phone call from the breast health center 1-3 days prior to a scheduled appointment.
Arm 2: Culturally Tailored Patient Centric Program Methods
EXPERIMENTALPatients will receive mail reminders at 7-10 days prior to appointment, tailored telephone counseling to both serve as an appointment reminder and to identify and troubleshoot salient barriers to mammography completion, and a digital navigation video explaining the rationale for and the actual mammography procedure. All study procedures are carried out remotely with no additional research visits for participants.
Interventions
Patient will receive an appointment reminder in the mail 7-10 days prior to the appointment.
The telephone counseling will include an appointment reminder within 7 days of their appointment and identify and troubleshoot barriers to patient's mammography completion.
The digital navigation video will explain the rationale for the mammogram and the mammography procedure. Digital navigation video will be sent by SMS text message 1-3 days prior to the appointment.
Patient will receive an automated reminder phone call for their appointment 1-3 days prior to the appointment.
