October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month

October 2007



Throughout NBCAM's history, Program Leaders have developed many creative ways to reach women. This section provides BRIGHT IDEAS to reach women in the clinic, at the workplace, and in the community. Some of these ideas may work for you or inspire new thoughts. NBCAM's educational campaign, "Pass the Word," consists of communication initiatives to facilitate a woman's decision to engage in early detection of breast cancer. As program leaders, you can help women and the community understand the importance of a triad of behaviors that includes mammography screening, clinical breast exams performed by health care providers, and breast self-examination.

You will find other ways to "Pass the Word" on our Website, www.nbcam.org. There is an E-mail greeting card to send, as well as an E-mail message that allows you to "Pass the Word" to five people close to you and encourage them to pass the word to others they know: that early detection of breast cancer results in earlier, potentially less invasive treatment and an improved chance of survival.
