About this study
This one-month study is to gain input and recommendations from 20 Navajo women who are breast cancer survivors from Shiprock, NM and 20 Navajo women who are breast cancer survivors from Chinle, AZ. The women breast cancer survivors will identify one support person they’ve received while in treatment and follow-up services for 40 individuals who may live on or off Navajo Nation. The open-ended question is to figure out if all participants agree with a “ways of knowing” strategy to promote breast cancer screenings and self-check. The “ways of knowing” includes culturally based Navajo arts and crafts like storytelling, poem reading by Luci Tapahonso, basket making, etc., intertwined with breast cancer screenings. The results of the pilot study are to be included in a larger grant with the National Institutes of Health for a five-year intervention study.
