Health mediation may boost cancer screening for homeless and squatter communities
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.
