Recruitment Challenges of a Colorectal Cancer Screening Dissemination Study.

Background: Dissemination strategies to reach underserved and minority populations to promote screening for colorectal cancer (CRC) are key to reducing disparities. We conducted a study to examine a tailored messaging approach to navigate individuals from communities (i.e.

Cost-Effectiveness of Community-to-Clinic Tailored Navigation for Colorectal Cancer Screening in an Underserved Population: Economic Evaluation Alongside a Group-Randomized Trial.

Purpose: Although screening for colorectal cancer (CRC) lowers mortality and morbidity and is generally cost-effective, little is known about the cost-effectiveness of screening promotion.

Design: Cost-effectiveness analysis alongside a group-randomized trial. Setting: Multicultural, underinsured communities in the Phoenix, Arizona, area.

Startup and implementation costs of a colorectal cancer screening tailored navigation research study.

Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third leading cause of cancer-related death in the United States. Despite improvements in screening, testing for CRC is underutilized in some populations, suggesting a need to identify efficient test promotion strategies.

Methods: Our intervention guided individuals from low-income, underserved communities into primary care clinics to receive CRC screening referrals.

Effects of a Community-to-Clinic Navigation Intervention on Colorectal Cancer Screening Among Underserved People.

Background: Colorectal cancer screening remains suboptimal among poor and underserved people.

Purpose: We tested the effectiveness of a community-to-clinic navigator intervention to guide multicultural, underinsured individuals into primary care clinics to complete colorectal cancer screening.

Methods: This two-phase behavioral intervention study was conducted in Phoenix, Arizona (2012-2018).

Self-reported physical activity patterns among low-income Latina women in Arizona.

Background: Adherence to recommendations for physical activity (PA) among adults in the United States is reported as poor, particularly among low-income Latinos. In particular, Latina women are at increased risk for inactivity and chronic illness, but national health survey reports aggregate data across demographic strata, limiting descriptive information that could guide targeted PA promotion. The purpose of the study was to determine PA patterns among a low-income group of Latina women in the southwestern United States.
