Women's Health Alliance Intervention Study: description of a breast and cervical cancer screening program.
The Women's Health Alliance Intervention Study is a community-based intervention study designed to determine if county-based coalitions can increase breast and cervical cancer screening rates among women aged 40 and older in four rural Wisconsin counties. This article describes the intervention process and demonstrates the feasibility of rural volunteer coalitions to promote breast and cervical cancer screening in communities. An accompanying article in this issue describes the effectiveness of these interventions.
