What this trial studies

MAMO is a multi-level outreach program recruiting women aged 40–74 who live in 39 Puerto Rican municipalities with below-median screening rates and who are overdue for breast cancer screening by at least one year. Community Health Workers will identify eligible women at local venues, provide educational support, and conduct telephone follow-up. The intervention includes three tiers—educational outreach, patient navigation to help with appointments and barriers, and a provider-focused educational component to support integration. The program builds on pilot work and aims to increase screening uptake through coordinated community and healthcare system actions.
