Reducing Cancer Disparities for American Indians in the Rural Intermountain West


Even for American Indians who have coverage with Medicare, disparities have been noted in
the provision of cancer screening, diagnosis, and treatment. These disparities have been
related to a variety of health-system, health-financing, geographic, and cultural barriers.
We hypothesize that the use of lay community outreach workers will be an effective means of
identifying and overcoming these barriers in order to improve the proportion of
Medicare-eligible American Indians who receive recommended screening and diagnosis for
prostate, breast, colon, and cervical cancer, and the proportion of individuals receiving
appropriate treatment for prostate, breast, colon, cervical, and lung cancer. Community
clusters randomized to this form of cancer navigation will be compared with community
clusters randomized to receive educational outreach only.
