The Susan G. Komen® Breast Cancer Education Toolkit for Hispanic/Latino Communities was created to support you, as an educator, in providing culturally- and linguistically-responsive breast health education to Hispanic/Latino communities.
This Toolkit is intended to guide your one-to-one and group-based outreach and education program planning. The Toolkit is divided into four sections that are designed to help you to address the primary aspects of the program planning process: audience, message, venue and resources. Each section of the Toolkit provides background information that can be useful in increasing your own knowledge about those subject areas. Additionally, each section provides tips, ideas, resources and tools that you can use when educating your audience.
Watch the video below to get a more in-depth overview of the Susan G. Komen® Breast Cancer Education Toolkit for Hispanic/Latino Communities.
Each website section of the Toolkit contains one or two videos like the one above. These videos are supplemental, and are meant to give an overview of each section and the related resources, materials and tools. The same information can be found in the section’s documents.
The “Introduction” video below describes the purpose of the Toolkit, why there is a need for breast cancer education in Hispanic/Latino communities as well as an overview of breast cancer and the Breast Self-Awareness Key Messages. If you prefer, the same overview can be read in the “Introduction” downloadable document below. The “Program Planning Square” video gives you an explanation on how to use this resource to plan your education session.

The purpose of this Toolkit is to support you, as an educator, in providing culturally- and linguistically-responsive breast health education that helps Hispanic/Latino people learn about breast cancer and feel empowered to take action. In particular, the education you provide can help people to enter and stay in the Breast Cancer Continuum of Care. Komen partnered with experts in culturally- and linguistically-responsive health promotion. They were able to identify and select evidence-based strategies to create this Toolkit and to guide you in implementing or refining your own breast health education programs.
Who can help?
Everyone can play a role in helping to raise awareness about breast cancer. However, this Toolkit is designed for use by organizations and people that currently conduct, or would like to conduct, breast health education in Hispanic/Latino communities. Examples include: health professionals such as nurses, health educators, navigators, community health workers or “promotoras,” Non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and others.
Included in the Toolkit are:
