<p>Breast cancer screening rates are lower for Hispanic females (Latinas) than their non-Hispanic White counterparts. This discrepancy is partly due to health disparities, such as limited access to care, inability to take time off work, lack of health insurance, and cultural and emotional barriers. In response to a health department request, the Carol Milgard Breast Center conducted a qualitative assessment, as part of a community grant pilot award from Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center, to better understand the barriers and facilitators influencing Latinas’ participation in mammography screening. The objective was to identify key characteristics of an intervention aimed at encouraging mammogram uptake among Latinas. Forty women were recruited and consented to participate in structured interviews, which included questions on their perceptions of mammography. The interviews explored structural barriers (e.g., lack of insurance), cultural issues (e.g., prioritizing family over individual health), and emotional concerns (e.g., fear of embarrassment). By detailing lessons learned and community identified outreach strategies, this work advances the evidence base on community engagement with Latinas for cancer education and outreach. Findings underscore the need for linguistically and culturally tailored resources, trusted messengers, and outreach approaches that meet Latinas where they are. The identified strategies can inform interventions to improve mammography uptake in similar communities and guide larger-scale implementation efforts.</p>
