African-American Women and Mass Media Campaign

The African-American Women and Mass Media pilot campaign uses radio and print media to make more women aware of the importance of getting mammograms to find breast cancer early. The campaign also seeks to increase the use of the National Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program screening services among African-American women aged 40-64. The campaign is being piloted in Savannah and Macon, Georgia.

Women and men have many of the same health problems, but they can affect women differently. For example, women may have different symptoms of heart disease. Some diseases or conditions are more common in women, such as osteoarthritis, obesity and depression. And some conditions, such as menopause and pregnancy, are unique to women.
