About this organization
Mission
At ZBC, we focus on modifiable risk factors at the individual and community level. We recognize that social and economic conditions impact our ability to live in healthy places and pursue healthy behaviors. While many disparities are systemic, through education and empowerment we can increase our resilience and change our environments to improve the health of all. We address issues such as: Physical activity; stress management; adequate sleep; nutrition and healthy eating habits; reduced exposure to radiation and chemicals that affect hormones or otherwise raise breast cancer risk; no or limited alcohol consumption; breastfeeding; and health equity. We share integrated, scientific evidence-based information in order to educate and empower girls, women and communities. We serve with a focus on youth, teens and breast cancer survivors in underserved communities. More rarely men can get breast cancer too but our work is applicable to them too.
About
Teens and Youth Educational and Outreach Programs. ZBC has created two unique campaigns aimed at teens and youth: 1) 13 Ways to Reduce Your Risk of Breast Cancer Campaign: Using materials created in 2016, during 2017 ZBC increased efforts to distribute posters and companion brochures (available in English and Spanish). These materials were delivered to an additional 20 high schools in the California Bay Area and beyond during 2017. ZBC continued to support high school breast cancer awareness clubs and provide internship opportunities for high school students interested in becoming active promoters of health and wellness by educating their peers about practical risk reduction actions. ZBC visited several high schools and youth extra-curricular programs to interact with students in order to increase their knowledge and awareness about the current scientific evidence on breast cancer risk. ZBC applied for and was awarded an opportunity to participate in a grant writing training program called Quickstart offered by the California Breast Cancer Research Program (CBCRP) and the University of California. The outcome of this training is that ZBC has partnered with a researcher from the Safe Cosmetics Program in the California Department of Public Health to submit a grant application for a study on ways to intervene with youth and teens to modify their use of unsafe products. If awarded this grant, the project will begin in 2018. 2) Girls' New Puberty Campaign: Based on the success of the CYGNET study of pubertal onset and an excellent book by two of our collaborating researchers, Louise Greenspan MD and Juliana Deardorff, PhD, ZBC completed and launched materials for the campaign 'Girls' New Puberty: When 8 Year Old Girls Have 13 Year Old Bodies.' Now, in addition to infographics produced in 2016 in English and Spanish, a Girls' New Puberty Facebook page was set up and an interactive micro-site was created and launched in 2017. This micro-site includes 5 topic '?chapters' focusing on important and practical ways of achieving of health and wellness during girls' puberty for both short term and lifelong health and wellness. With this campaign, ZBC has created new content where none existed and curated links to good quality resources that are helpful for members of low-income and immigrant communities, including parents, grandparents and other guardians of young girls. These materials were also designed to be useful to educators, health care and public health professionals and other adults responsible for child welfare and wellbeing in disadvantaged communities.
