Guiding hands: can navigators close the gap in cancer screening?

NCT ID NCT01555450

Summary

This study tested whether assigning a 'patient navigator'—a helper who guides people through the healthcare system—could increase participation in colorectal cancer screening. It focused on people aged 50-74 in France who had not been getting screened, especially those in less privileged areas. The goal was to see if this support could boost screening rates and reduce health inequalities linked to social and economic status.
