About this study

In plain language

This study tests whether adding help to find and use community services to standard referrals helps women get follow-up care after an abnormal mammogram, a breast X-ray. It is for women who have social needs and may face barriers to care.

The goal of this study is to evaluate if adding community services navigation to the standard referral process for social needs is an effective and scalable strategy for addressing disparities in follow-up to abnormal breast cancer screening results. The investigators will determine the effectiveness of social needs referrals combined with a community services navigation intervention in the screening mammography setting to improving breast screening outcomes in underserved women.

Compensation is read from the study's own description and may be missing — always confirm with the study team.
