- The study examines the effectiveness of different patient navigation methods in increasing colorectal cancer screening rates among African Americans aged over 50.
- Three navigation formats were tested: peer-patient navigation, pro-patient navigation (healthcare professionals), and a standard approach, but all groups showed a similar screening completion rate of about 75.7%.
- Findings suggest that patient navigation significantly boosts screening rates beyond the national average, indicating that cultural targeting might not be essential for certain demographics.
