Reducing Cancer Disparities One Patient at a Time
"Electra D. Paskett, PhD, and her team are working with 12 primary care practices throughout Columbus to recruit 1,200 patients with abnormal cancer screening results. Patients at six of the clinics can choose to receive patient navigator assistance, while patients at the other six clinics will receive usual care, in the form of written materials.
The study will concentrate on cancers for which screening tests are available: breast, cervix, and colon."
