Before Team Up, states reported using 47 different intervention strategies, most of which lacked evidence-based approaches. Interventions comprised community awareness, education programs, church events, lay health advisor, health fairs, and media campaigns. All the interventions selected in Team Up were shown to be efficacious in increasing screening for cervical and breast cancer or both in the original population.
