NYC Cancer Outreach Network in Neighborhoods for Equity and Community Translation
Sponsor: NYU Langone Health
Summary
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.

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