Discussion: The MY B.R.E.A.S.T. workshops and survey results suggest that the target audience of minority females was reached as there was increased knowledge of breast health awareness. However, there may be racial, cultural, and socioeconomic barriers when it comes to the messages African American women receive about breast cancer and ultimately treatment options.
