Advancing Cancer Control Engaged Research Through Transformative Solutions (ACCERT) Social Determinants of Health (SDoH) Navigation Program
Sponsor: Northwestern University
Summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate patient navigation programs designed to reduce barriers to cancer screening and improve healthcare experiences for adults living in Chicago. Participants will be asked to complete two surveys: the first survey shortly after the participants join the study and a second survey after 1 year. Participants will be joining one of three patient navigation programs, assigned at random. The investigators expect the participants to be in this patient navigation program for 12 months, followed by a 1-month window to complete the final survey.
