Popis: Objective Recent multi-site trials evaluating the efficacy of patient navigation programs have found only modest effects on reducing follow-up time among patients with abnormal breast and cervical cancer screening tests. However, navigators in these efficacy trials have primarily been situated within a hospital or clinic. We sought to describe the translation of clinic-based patient navigation to communitynested patient navigation and explore how disseminating and scaling patient navigation models to community settings can address complex barriers to care.
