Abstract

Objectives. This study assessed the effectiveness of telephone counseling in a church-based mammography promotion interventional trial. Methods. Thirty churches were ran- domized to telephone counseling and control conditions; telephone interview data were used in assessing intervention effects on mammography adherence. Separate analyses were conducted for baseline-adherent participants (maintaining adherence) and baseline-nonadherent participants (conversion to adherence). Results. Year 1 follow-up data indicated that the telephone counseling intervention maintained mammography adherence among baselline-adherent participants and reduces the nonadherence rate from 23% to 16%. Conclusions. Partnerships between the public health and faith communities are potentially effective conduits to promote maintenance of widely endorsed health behaviors such as regular cancer screening.
