Interventions

  • Patient Navigation (PN) - More Intensive — BEHAVIORAL
    The PN intervention will be administered by trained, bilingual CHWs: they will screen participants for cancer screening status and social needs and provide navigational support to cancer screening and social services.
  • Educational Materials — BEHAVIORAL
    Both PN and LI participants will receive tailored educational materials around cancer screening and SDH resources as needed.
  • Patient Navigation (PN) - Less Intensive — BEHAVIORAL
    The PN intervention will be administered by trained, bilingual CHWs: they will screen participants for social needs and provide navigational support to social services.

Study Details

NYC CONNECT will carry out a randomized controlled trial (RCT) which will assess the relative effectiveness of two evidence-based strategies to increase cancer screening rates for breast, cervical, and colorectal cancer. The RCT will compare the effectiveness of using a combination of 1) culturally and linguistically tailored cancer education materials and 2) community health workers (CHWs) to provide navigation services for cancer screening (the "patient navigation" \[PN\] arm) versus providing culturally and linguistically tailored cancer education only (the "less intensive" \[LI\] arm). The study population will include individuals who are due for breast, cervical, or colorectal cancer screening. All individuals recruited to the study will be provided navigation for unmet social determinants of health (SDH) needs.

Arms

  • Experimental: Patient Navigation (PN)
    Participants randomized to the PN arm will receive community health worker (CHW)-administered PN for cancer screening + social service needs + culturally and linguistically tailored cancer education. All individuals will complete a survey at baseline, 3 months, and 6 months.
  • Active Comparator: Less Intensive (LI)
    Participants randomized to LI arm will receive PN to social service needs + culturally and linguistically tailored cancer education materials. All individuals will complete a survey at baseline, 3 months, and 6 months. Once a participant randomized to the LI arm completes the 6-month survey, they will have the option to receive all navigational support provided by CHWs to individuals randomized to the PN arm.

Primary Outcome Measure
