Enhancing the Effectiveness of Community Health Workers to Reduce Cervical Cancer Disparities in African American Women
ISA Associates, Inc.
Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to test whether an interactive, video-based patient navigation program can improve cervical cancer screening among African American women who are currently overdue for screening. The main questions it aims to answer are: Can an interactive video navigation tool (mNav), when paired with in-person navigation, improve screening adherence compared to a standard educational video alone? Does the intervention improve knowledge, reduce barriers, and increase intentions to get screened? Researchers will compare participants who receive both the interactive video (guided by an on-screen navigator) and in-person navigation to those who receive only a standard educational video to see if the tailored support increases screening rates. Participants will: Complete two phone surveys (one at the beginning and one six months later) Be randomly assigned to one of two groups: One group will receive an interactive video experience tailored to their concerns plus support from an in-person navigator The other group will receive a standard educational video designed for African American women Have their clinic records reviewed six months later to check for cervical cancer screening completion
