Women who received an educational intervention with follow-up telephone counseling were nearly 6X more likely to undergo breast, cervical, and colorectal cancerscreening than those who received usual care.
A low-cost intervention that involved mailing patients an educational, personally tailored DVD along with follow-up telephone counseling significantly improved rates of recommended cancer screenings among women living in rural areas, where uptake of such screenings is often suboptimal.
Participants completed a baseline survey that assessed their beliefs, knowledge, and self-reported adherence to cervical, breast, and colorectal cancer screening. The authors randomly assigned participants to one of three interventions between November 2016 and July 2019. After multivariate adjustment, those who received the DVD/patient navigator intervention were nearly six times more likely to obtain all needed screenings compared with those who received only usual care .
With previous studies showing similar results, the current study adds to a growing body of evidence of the benefits of such interventions. However, with DVD technology becoming obsolete, the authors note the need to translate the DVD intervention to an online tool.
