Session presented on Saturday, July 25, 2015:
The purpose of this presentation is to show how a team of RNSN students from Miami Dade College - Community Nursing course were able to disseminate awareness among the community about importance of early detection of breast cancer during Making Strides against Cancer Walk in Miami Dade County. The group of students gathered evidenced-based information about importance of early diagnosis of breast cancer. The group of students then worked together with course professor to find out the best way to propagate the researched information to the community of interest. The community consisted of active participants in the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer, including breast cancer patients, family, friends and any other person who has been affected by the disease in some way. This walk is coordinated by the American Cancer Society and has a vast participation from the community.
