e-CHEC-uP: Scaling up an Efficacious Cancer Screening Intervention for Women With Limited English

Kokeellinen: e-CHEC-uP

Group 1 will receive the education study intervention after the first baseline questionnaire. Participants will be asked to take part in a one-time, 1 to 1.5-hour online education on breast and cervical cancer prevention followed by monthly phone calls and navigation assistance by a community health worker to help address any barriers in order to help receive a mammogram or a Pap test.

Käyttäytyminen: e-CHEC-uP

One time online-based education about breast and cervical cancer screening procedures followed by phone counseling by trained community health worker over 6 months

Active Comparator: CHEC-uP

Group 2 will receive a similar education intervention but the education is offered face-to-face instead. Participants will be asked to take part in a one-time, 1 to 1.5-hour face-to-face education on breast and cervical cancer prevention followed by monthly phone calls and navigation assistance by a community health worker.

Age-appropriate mammogram screening test

Patient medical records will be reviewed to confirm the receipt of mammogram and whether the age at which it was received is "appropriate". According to the American Cancer Society (ACS), Mammograms received from ages 40 to 54 years (annual screening) and from ages 55 years onward (biennial screening) will be deemed appropriate. It is optional to continue annual screening after age 54 years based on a woman's choice.

The investigators will compare the proportion of women in each group (e-CHEC-uP intervention vs. CHEC-uP) who completed mammogram at 6 months.

Age-appropriate Pap screening test

Patient medical records will be reviewed to confirm the receipt of Pap test and whether the age at which it was received is "appropriate". According to the American Cancer Society (ACS), Pap tests received from ages 21 to 65 years once every 3 years will be deemed appropriate.

The investigators will compare the proportion of women in each group (e-CHEC-uP intervention vs. CHEC-uP) who completed Pap test at 6 months.

Health Literacy as assessed by a 49-item instrument

Scoring of the health literacy instrument is in such a way that each correct response will be coded as 1 whereas incorrect response will be coded as 0. Total scores can range from 0 to 49 with higher scores indicating higher health literacy.

Breast Cancer knowledge as assessed by a 25-item instrument

Scoring of the breast cancer knowledge instrument is in such a way that each correct response will be coded as 1 whereas incorrect response will be coded as 0. Total scores for breast cancer knowledge will range from 0 to 25. Higher scores indicate higher breast cancer knowledge.

Cervical Cancer knowledge as assessed by 10-item instrument

Scoring of the cervical cancer knowledge instrument is in such a way that each correct response will be coded as 1 whereas incorrect response will be coded as 0. Total scores for cervical cancer knowledge will range from 0 to 10. Higher scores indicate higher cervical cancer knowledge.

Cancer screening-related self-efficacy as assessed by 8-item scale

Scoring of the cancer screening-related self-efficacy is to assess one's belief about ability to get cancer screening. The 8-item scale (developed by the study team) scoring ranges from "not at all confident" coded as 1 to "very confident" coded as 4 for each item. Total scores will range from 8 to 32 with higher scores indicating higher self-efficacy.
