Rural Interventions for Screening Effectiveness

Not Applicable

Completed

Interventions: Behavioral: Educational Intervention-DVD & Telephone Based Navigation
Behavioral: Educational Intervention via brochure
Behavioral: Educational Intervention via DVD

Brief Summary: This randomized clinical trial studies how well a tailored interactive digital versatile disc (DVD) with or without patient navigation works in improving screening rates in rural women for breast cancer, cervical cancer or colorectal cancer. A tailored interactive DVD and patient navigation may help rural women to learn more about cancer screening and to better understand the results.

Detailed Description: PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. Compare the effectiveness of a tailored and interactive DVD (TIDVD) versus (vs.) TIDVD + telephone-based patient navigation (PN) intervention (TIDVD + PN) vs. usual care (UC), to increase guideline-based cancer screening rates at 12 months post randomization for breast cancer (BC), cervical cancer (CC), and colorectal cancer (CRC) among 1058 women age 50 to 74 living in rural northwest Ohio and northeast Indiana.

II. Compare the cost effectiveness of the TIDVD and the TIDVD + PN intervention vs. UC, for adherence to each screening outcome or combination of screening tests.

OUTLINE: Patients are randomized to 1 of 3 arms.

Arm I: Patients watch a tailored interactive DVD program and answer questions posed by the DVD program.

Arm II: Patients engage in TIDVD and PN.

Arm III: Patients receive brochures that explain and provide encouragement for cancer screening.

After completion of the study, patients are followed up at 2 and 12 months.

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Arm II (TIDVD, PN)	Educational Intervention-DVD & Telephone Based Navigation	Educational Intervention-DVD \& Telephone based Navigation: In this arm of the intervention participants watch a TIDVD and are called by a patient navigator.
Arm III (UC)	Educational Intervention via brochure	Educational Intervention via brochure: In this arm of the intervention participants receive brochures that explain and provide information and encouragement for cancer screening.
Arm I (TIDVD)	Educational Intervention via DVD	Educational Intervention via DVD: In this arm of the intervention participants watch a tailored interactive DVD program and answer questions posed by the DVD program.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Percentage of Participants Who Received All Needed Screening and Any Needed Screening Across the Three Randomized Arms	Up to 12 months	Will be tested initially with pair-wise chi-square tests. Binary logistic regression analysis will be used to compare the two interventions and the UC group on the binary dependent variable (adherence), while adjusting for any potentially confounding covariates. The models will be controlled for any demographic covariate (e.g., age, education) for which the randomized groups differ significantly at baseline using a liberal significance level of 0.20 to achieve conservative adjustment. As a sensitivity analysis, multiple imputation will be used to impute the adherence outcome for participants.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Cost Effectiveness of Each Intervention	Up to 12 months	Cost-effectiveness analysis (CEA) implies a comparison of whether the cost per unit of outcome in one situation exceeds that in another. Unless the outcome measures are comparable, this is not possible. Will be able to examine outcomes of the interventions and the UC group (participants who up to date with all three cancer screening guidelines at 12 month follow-up). CEA will consist of measuring the incremental cost of achieving the observed incremental outcomes, but not a cost-effectiveness ratio in standard terms.
Cost of the Interventions	Up to 12 months	In the model implemented in this study, the patient navigators spend full time in that activity. Thus, the costs of implementation are straightforward and obtainable. Even though the navigator is full-time, data were collected concerning broad categories of time use through a structured time log so that the cost of specific components (e.g., arranging transportation) can be estimated more accurately. A developed Participant Encounter Form and a Tracking Log of Direct Participant Contacts were used to provide the majority of this information.
