About

This pilot trial study uses a structural support program for adoption of cancer screening interventions at a rural community-based organization. Rural communities face unique barriers in implementation of evidence-based interventions due to a lack of infrastructure, community capacity, and expertise as academic and research centers are often clustered in urban areas. The support program may help a rural community-based organization select, adapt, and implement cancer prevention and control evidence-based interventions.

Full description

OUTLINE:

Community-based organizations participate in the support program, consisting of 2 half-day training workshops over 2 weeks, and 30-minute bi-weekly consultations in order to adapt and implement the cancer screening intervention for community members.

After completion of study, participants are followed up at 3 months.

Inclusion and exclusion criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

Objective II COMMUNITY-BASED ORGANIZATION: Located in the Yakima Valley of Washington State
Objective II COMMUNITY-BASED ORGANIZATION: Serve community members who are 18 and older
Objective II COMMUNITY-BASED ORGANIZATION: Willing to commit to the 6-month program
Objective II PARTICIPANTS: Receiving services from the recruited community-based organization
Objective III PARTICIPANTS: Not up-to-date for breast, cervical, and colorectal cancer screening according to current U.S. Preventive Services Tasks Force (USPSTF) guidelines. The current USPSTF recommendations for breast, cervical, and colorectal cancer are:
- Breast Cancer Screening: Women ages 50-74 should be screened for breast cancer with mammography every 2 years.
- Cervical Cancer Screening: Women ages 21-29 should be screened for cervical cancer every 3 years with cervical cancer cytology alone. For women ages 30-65, the USPSTF recommends screening every 3 years with cervical cytology alone, every 5 years or every 5 years with high risk human papillomavirus (hrHPV) testing in combination of cytology.
- Colorectal Cancer Screening: Individuals ages 50-75 should be screened for colorectal cancer with guaiac-based fecal occult blood tests (gFOBT) or fecal immunochemical test (FIT) once a year, or colonoscopy every 10 years (USPSTF approves additional screening tests, but these are the most commonly used).
Objective III PARTICIPANTS: If the community-based organization selects breast cancer screening, we will recruit women ages 50-74.
Objective III PARTICIPANTS: If the community-based organization selects cervical cancer screening, we will recruit women ages 21-65.
Objective III PARTICIPANTS: If the community-based organization selects colorectal cancer screening, we will recruit women and men ages 50-75.
Objective III PARTICIPANTS: Average risk for breast, cervical, or colorectal cancer
