TL;DR: The development and pilot-testing of brief scales to measure four cultural constructs prevalent in urban African American women and internal consistency and temporal stability were assessed.

TL;DR: This study examined associations between 5 such factors—collectivism, spirituality, racial pride, and present and future time orientation— and breast cancer–related knowledge, barriers to mammography, and mammography use and stage of change among urban African American women.

TL;DR: To examine whether tailored cancer communication for African American women can be enhanced by tailoring on 4 sociocultural constructs: religiosity, collectivism, racial pride, and time orientation, a randomized trial was conducted.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that a message library – the computer‐tailored intervention component that contains all potential versions of tailored content – can be adapted for use in a new setting at reasonable cost and effort.
