Clinical Trial
(c-CARE II) Impacting Cancer Health Disparities and Facilitating Cancer Health Equity in Breast, Multiple Myeloma, and Prostate Cancers in Underserved and Minority Populations: The cancer- Community Awareness Access Research & Education II Initiative
The c-CARE II initiative is a research study designed to improve cancer outcomes in minority and underserved populations in a sustainable and collaborative community-based manner, and will achieve this by: (1) using trusted community-based trainers as a sustainable model to deliver evidence-based cancer awareness through health literacy and education, with an emphasis on prevention, screening, and early detection behaviors; (2) providing access and navigation to high-quality cancer screening and early detection services; (3) assisting with navigation to proper care as needed, e.g. upon detection of a suspicious lesion or nodule or a diagnosis of cancer; (4) sharing information about relevant medical and non-medical community-based resources; and (5) measuring pre- and post-intervention knowledge, attitudes and beliefs as well as changes in cancer health behaviors and outcomes.
