Summary

Intervention to promote cancer screenings among deaf, deafblind, and hard of hearing participants who have not received screening within the recommended guideline.

Detailed description

Study hypothesizes that the intervention that involves utilization of a DDBHH CHN will result in (i) DDBHH patients demonstrating greater adherence to screening compared to DDBHH patients who were assigned to the standard of care group , and (ii) higher patient-physician communication rating by DDBHH patients compared to DDBHH patients who were assigned to the standard of care group. Bilingual ASL-English measures (e.g., sociodemographics, cancer knowledge, patient-physician communication) will be administered to the participant at baseline data collection and again after the final data collection or by 11 months for comparison.
