Bundled Cancer Screening and Genetic Services Navigation
Georgetown University
Summary
The goal of this study is to test bundled familial cancer risk assessment + multicancer (colorectal + breast) vs. single (breast) cancer navigation, using a wait list control for colorectal cancer screening referral and navigation. Among those eligible, this study will test usual care referral to genetic services vs. pretest education + usual care referral. The study also will assess how bundled multicancer navigation works and for whom it is most effective through a multisite, mixed-methods patient- and organization-level process evaluation.
Description
Research Design and Methods: All women referred for screening navigation within community navigation programs receive familial cancer risk assessment, bundled with either multicancer (colorectal + breast) vs. single (breast) cancer navigation, with a wait list control for colorectal cancer screening referral and navigation, stratified by site and genetics referral eligibility. Primary analyses will be conducted among those randomized to multicancer or single cancer navigation, but ineligible for genetic referral, to test effectiveness for colorectal cancer screening and non-inferiority for br…

Interventions
- BehavioralBreast cancer screening navigation
Single cancer navigation includes the following, oriented to breast cancer only: cancer education, barrier assessment and resolution, screening exam scheduling, text and mail reminders, documentation of appointment completion and results communicated to patient.
- BehavioralMulticancer screening navigation
Multi-cancer navigation includes the following, oriented to breast and colorectal cancers: cancer education, barrier assessment and resolution, screening exam scheduling, text and mail reminders, documentation of appointment completion and results communicated to patient.
- BehavioralUsual care genetics referral
Referral for genetics will be provided at the completion of the navigation call.
- BehavioralPretest education + usual care genetics referral
Print education regarding the genetic counseling and testing process and specific tips to support at-home testing. Referral for genetics will be provided at the completion of the navigation call.
