Testing Different Approaches to Cancer Screening and Genetic Services Navigation to Improve Breast and Colorectal Cancer Screening among Black/African American and Hispanic Women

Trial Status: active

This clinical trial tests different approaches to cancer screening and genetic services navigation to improve breast and colorectal cancer screening among Black/African American and Hispanic women. Despite effective interventions, many women die each year of breast and colorectal cancer, accounting for > 20% of all cancer deaths among United States women. An unequal number of these deaths occur among Black and Hispanic women who experience adverse social determinants of health (conditions in which people are born, grow, live, work and age). Addressing the barriers that limit cancer screening and genetic testing rates through patient navigation could improve outcomes in this population. Patient navigation is a healthcare service that is designed to guide a patient through the healthcare system and reduce barriers to timely screening, follow-up, diagnosis, treatment, and supportive care. This trial will test different approaches to cancer screening and genetic services navigation, such as multi-cancer and single site screening navigation, as well as different combinations of services offered. Researchers hope this will help identify which approach is most effective at addressing the barriers these women face and ultimately improve breast and colorectal cancer screening among Black/African American and Hispanic women.
