New program aims to boost cancer screening in underserved women
NCT ID NCT06666192
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a community program to increase cancer screening rates among low-income women in Ohio. The program includes patient education, coaching calls, and community outreach. Researchers will compare screening rates between groups that start the program early versus later. The goal is to catch breast, cervical, and colorectal cancers earlier, when treatment is more effective.
