Cancer prevention information can increase the likelihood that cancer will
be detected in an individual at an earlier and more treatable stage [19]. In
general, printed cancer education materials are effective at delivering
the cancer prevention message. However, many printed cancer education
materials for African Americans are ineffective because they are not
culturally sensitive [20]. Using this guide can help you develop culturally
sensitive, effective printed cancer education materials for African
Americans. These printed cancer education materials for African Americans
can potentially cause a decrease in the high cancer incidence and
mortality rates in the African-American community.
