A comparison of two native American Navigator formats: face-to-face and telephone. Dignan MB, Burhansstipanov L, Hariton J, Harjo L, Rattler T, Lee R, Mason M.Cancer Control. 2005 Nov;12 Suppl 2:28-33.PMID: 16327748 [PubMed - in process]
Abstract:
The study was designed to test the relative effectiveness of a Navigator intervention delivered face-to-face or by telephone to urban Native American women. The effectiveness of the intervention was evaluated using a design that included a pretest, random assignment to face-to-face or telephone group, and posttest. The Social Cognitive Theory-based intervention was a tailored education program developed to address individual risk factors for breast cancer. At posttest, self-reported mammograms in the past year increased from 29% to 41.3% in the telephone group and from 34.4% to 45.2% in the face-to-face group. There was no difference in change from pretest to posttest between the telephone and face-to-face groups. Navigators can be effective in increasing adherence to recommendations for screening mammography among urban American Indian women.PMID: 16327748 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE]
