What this trial studies

The Ohio State University SCREEN Community Program aims to enhance screening and follow-up for breast, cervical, and colorectal cancers among low-income and uninsured women in Central Ohio. The program employs a multi-level intervention that includes both clinic-based components, such as patient education, and community-based strategies, like media outreach and training for health workers. The initiative will first assess local factors affecting screening, pilot the intervention in a clinic, and then evaluate its effectiveness through a randomized trial. The ultimate goal is to improve access to cancer screenings and ensure better health outcomes for underserved populations.
