Our findings underscore the lack of access to breast cancer prevention screening services and emphasize the need to ensure that existing breast cancer screening programs are effective in reaching women along the U.S.-Mexico border.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1089\/jwh.2010.2638","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2011,10,4]],"date-time":"2011-10-04T20:56:59Z","timestamp":1317761819000},"page":"101-107","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":41,"title":["Breast Cancer Knowledge, Attitudes, and Early Detection Practices in United States-Mexico Border Latinas"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"21","author":[{"given":"Matthew P.","family":"Banegas","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Washington School of Public Health"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yelena","family":"Bird","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Saskatchewan","place":["Canada"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"John","family":"Moraros","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Saskatchewan","place":["Canada"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sasha","family":"King","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of New Mexico","place":["New Mexico"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Surasri","family":"Prapsiri","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of New Mexico Hospital, Las Cruces, New Mexico."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Beti","family":"Thompson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Washington School of Public Health"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2012,1,1]]},"reference":[{"issue":"2","key":"e_1_3_2_2_2","first-page":"s220","article-title":"Breast cancer: Why link early detection to reproductive health interventions in developing countries?","volume":"51","author":"Knaul F","year":"2009","unstructured":"Knaul F, , Bustreo F, , Ha E, , Langer A.
