Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

CLS Intervention

Community health workers (or promotoras) will deliver the CLS program either in face-to-face and/or group sessions to all women within 2 months of the baseline interview. Each session will last approximately 1 to 2 hours, and will include CLS materials adapted for this study.At the conclusion of the CLS program, promotoras will provide information about local and affordable providers delivering low-cost or free breast and cervical cancer screening services. Should a woman require follow-up for abnormal results, referrals will be given to programs,which provides assistance accessing cancer diagnostic and treatment services. Two weeks after delivering the education component of the CLS program, promotoras will call women to provide any further assistance needed. During these follow-up calls promotoras will provide on-going navigation support to women in need of mammography and Pap test screening

BEHAVIORAL

No CLS intervention

This control arm will receive only usual practice care (print education) and will not receive the CLS intervention. They may receive the intervention after the study has been completed
