Brief description of study

The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness of a tailored interactive DVD (TIDVD) vs telephone patient navigation (PN) + tailored interactive DVD (TIDVD) vs Usual Care in increasing screening rates for Breast Cancer (BC), Cervical Cancer (CC), and colorectal cancer (CRC) among women 50 -74 years living in rural areas, and to compare the cost effectiveness of the TIDVD and the TIDVD+PN intervention vs. UC, for adherence to each screening outcome or combination of screening tests.

Detailed description of study

A multi-disciplinary research team from The Ohio State University and Indiana University School of Nursing will develop and implement an intervention testing the comparative effectiveness of a tailored interactive computer program delivered via DVD (TIDVD) vs. a TIDVD + telephone-based patient navigation (PN) intervention (TIDVD + PN) vs. Usual Care (UC) to increase guideline-based screening rates for Breast Cancer(BC), Cervical Cancer(CC), and Colorectal Cancer(CRC) among women age 50 to 74 living in 32 rural counties of Ohio (OH) and Indiana (IN). All human subjects interactions (screening, recruitment, consent, procedures) will be conducted at OSU. Dr. Champion will assist with development of DVD and is not engaged in research.
