Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
This clinical trial develops and tests how well a multi-level intervention (MLI), The Ohio State University (OSU) SCREEN Community Program, works to increase screening and follow-up for breast, cervical and colorectal (CRC) cancer among low-income and un/underinsured female residents in three counties in Central Ohio. In Ohio, incidence and mortality rates for breast, cervical and CRC are higher than or similar to the national average; in addition, underserved populations - minority, rural and low-income women - have higher rates of these cancers. Screening can detect precancerous colorectal and cervical lesions and other early-stage cancers when treatment is less intensive and more successful and is known to reduce mortality rates for breast, cervical, and CRC, however many of these women lack access to health care and screenings. This MLI includes clinic-based components, such as patient education, as well as community-based strategies, such as media programs and training health workers, that can increase rates of guideline-recommended breast, cervical and CRC screening and follow-ups in underserved populations. The OSU SCREEN Community Program may be an effective way to improve breast, cervical and CRC screenings among underserved women in Ohio.

- label
- Phase I, Planning Phase (MLI material, focus group, interview)
- description
- Providers and community members review MLI materials and participate in focus groups and interviews to discuss challenges to being screened, what community members know about cancer and screening and what should be included in a program to increase screening over 30-60 minutes on study. A clinic champion will be identified during the interview to lead, advise, and oversee the implementation of the MLI at their clinic location.

- Phase II, Arm I (Health Clinics)
- description
- The clinic champion coordinates planning sessions, staff training, and overall implementation and planning for the MLI within each health clinic. Health clinics may integrate new activities into usual clinic processes such as the use of the EHR to identify age-eligible patients in need of breast, cervical and/or CRC screening, reminder systems built into the EHR that can be sent to both providers and patients for screening and follow-up, and EHR information alerts for providers about patients who have positive FITs or a positive Pap test or mammogram on study. Additionally, health clinics may incorporate risk assessments (via paper or within the EHR) for all patients eligible for breast, cervical and/or CRC screening, promote screening via web-based or health portal messaging, promote annual wellness visits (during which screening should be discussed), and offer incentives for completing needed cancer screening on study.

Inclusion Criteria: * Level 1 is the health clinics (Helping Hands \[pilot\]; 6 Lower Lights clinics). Clinics are eligible if they provide preventive health care to residents of the targeted census tracts. * Level 2 focuses on health care providers (physicians, nurses, physician assistants \[PA\]/nurse practitioners \[NPs\]) and office staff practicing at participating clinics who are involved in the screening and/or screening referral process (determined by individual clinical sites) and can speak, read, and write English * Patients (Level 3) are the recipients of health care and screening interventional strategies implemented by clinics and providers. * Level 4 is the community to include residents in targeted census tracts around each clinic.
