Ormylia Pamphlets and Pamphlet-Writing Materials Through the generous support of The Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation, the Center was able to translate the Radiology Chapter of The European Guidelines for Quality Assurance in Mammography Screening (3th Edition) Arabic Breast Care Awareness Pamphlets These pamphlets were developed through the generous support of the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation as a means to reach out to underprivileged immigrant populations in Greece and to raise breast care awareness among socially and economically disadvantaged women from countries such as Albania, China, Poland and Russia. These pamphlets are open to the public and can be freely downloaded and distributed.

Designing Print Materials: A Communications Guide for Breast Cancer Screening (NCI, NIH 2007) This practical guide, developed to improve the quality of information provided by breast cancer screening programs to consumers, is a result of collaborative efforts by the International Cancer Screening Network (ICSN). This effort began with ICSN discussions in Montpellier, France (2002) on the important role of communication as part of the screening process, the advances in research on communication and decision-making tools, and the need to summarize these informational materials and tools being used internationally by breast cancer screening programs to communicate with women about mammography. Designing Print Materials describes the essential tasks involved in designing print materials including planning, audience assessment, message and materials testing and assists the user in identifying appropriate communications medium for maximizing audience reach. The guide offers a summary of informational materials and decision tools used internationally by breast cancer screening programs to communicate with women about mammography. Additional valuable resources found in the guide include the “do’s and don’ts” of materials development, planning worksheets and checklists and references. Guide are available as: Color PDF (4.5 MB) & Black & White PDF (2.9 MB)
