NCT ID NCT06180746

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looks at whether health mediation can help people living in informal housing (like streets, shanties, squats, or caravans) in France use healthcare services more, especially for cancer screening. Over 1,000 participants are involved, along with health mediators and social workers. The goal is to see if a co-designed action plan improves access to breast, colorectal, and cervical cancer screening.
