Cancer Prevention Among Individuals with Mental Ill-health: Patient Navigation for Primary Cancer Prevention
Sponsor: Medical University of Vienna
Summary
Prevention is essential for reducing cancer-related mortality. However, people with mental ill-health often face difficulties in accessing cancer prevention services. The EU-funded CO-CAPTAIN project aims to co-adapt and implement the Patient Navigation Model for primary cancer prevention in this underserved population. This evidence-based and patient-centred intervention aims to support patient empowerment through removal of systemic barriers, provide social support and promote timely access to primary prevention services.

Patient Navigation
CO-CAPTAIN focuses on co-designing and piloting and evaluating the implementation of patient navigation (PN) for primary cancer prevention in people with mental ill-health. Patient Navigators, trained professionals with experience working with people with mental ill-health, will assist people with mental ill-health in gaining access to and utilizing appropriate primary cancer prevention measures offered within the respective healthcare and social system (including smoking cessation and physical activity and nutritional interventions). For this purpose, Patient Navigators will offer regular appointment with participants, apply motivational interviewing and aid in accessing appropriate materials while aiming at empowering participants in taking an active role and making better and more informed decisions regarding their health.
