摘要

Although White populations are more frequently affected by skin cancer, recent studies have highlighted late-stage presentations in Latinos [1-6]. Diagnosis in these individuals often occurs once tumors are thicker or have metastasized [1-6]. An essential part of improving survival rates is early detection yet our group recently described low levels of physician skin examinations and education on self-skin examinations in Chicago Latino communities [7]. Lay health workers (LHWs) may assist in health education by serving as a connector between health care providers and health care consumers. They are not medical professionals but have undergone a defined health education curriculum organized by a local community center. LHWs have been found to be effective educators in underserved Spanish-speaking communities where they have delivered multiple cancer education programs [8]. This pilot study examined using Spanish-speaking LHWs to educate the public about skin cancer, perform focused skin examinations, and encourage community members to attend physician skin screenings in underserved Latino communities in Chicago.
