In its efforts to provide breast health information for all women, Susan G.Komen for the Cure commissioned the production of guidelines for culturally relevant educational materials designed for medically underserved audiences.

The purpose of these guidelines is to assist organizations in tailoring breast cancer education print materials to specific audiences. It is certainly not our intention to publish a comprehensive set of principles that would apply to every American woman, or even to all women in a particular racial, ethnic or cultural group. Moreover, it is our expectation that these guidelines will be used in conjunction with other publications available through public and private sources to produce culturally sensitive and appropriate materials and to highlight the importance of breast health to all women.

Find free PDFs of Susan G. Komen educational materials available in a variety of languages. The materials are written in plain language and are culturally appropriate.
