Community Gateway to Health Study
Sponsor: Harvard School of Public Health (HSPH)
Summary
The goal of this study is to evaluate the impact of a multi-level intervention on cancer prevention and social determinants of health outcomes. This partnership between academic and community-based researchers aims to link community health centers and communities in ways that maximize both civic engagement and participation in cancer control care. The system-level intervention consists of two components: (1) provision of community health center systems-level tools for cancer screening (breast, cervical, colorectal) and tobacco cessation treatment gaps; and (2) digital access screening and navigation. These interventions will be delivered via usual care.
