摘要
The high incidence of cancer mortality and morbidity among African-Americans has led to a need for cancer education and detection programs designed for this underserved population. This review of the literature focuses on key cancer-related health beliefs, barriers to utilization, and methods of intervention that should be considered in developing programs for African-Americans. Implications for social work practice are discussed.
