The goal of this study was to understand the unique needs and barriers to breast cancer control among African American women in the rural South. This population experiences barriers that surpass that of other minorities. Researchers conducted 6 focus groups to assess barriers of minority women in Mississippi toward breast cancer prevention and clinical trials. These women had little knowledge of treatment options and negative perceptions of screening and clinical trial participation. This research equips others to identify new health education strategies. Conclusions also provide insight into prevention for other minority populations, such as Latina, Asian, and American Indian women.
