Activity Planning Guide

Chapter 1
Welcome to Project REACH

Although mammograms and Pap tests are effective means of detecting cancer early, many people do not obtain these screening tests on a regular basis. Project REACH provides information and suggestions on how to address this and many other barriers by discussing three key factors:

• Breast and cervical information,
• The importance of early detection, and
• Local screening and education resources for women and men (men get breast cancer too!).
