Summary

This study is a pilot feasibility randomized trial involving newly diagnosed colorectal cancer (CRC) patients who identify as Latinx. The study aims to leverage existing academic-community partnerships in Santa Clara County to develop and evaluate a multi-level community health worker/promotora (CHW/P) navigator intervention. If found effective, APOYO has the potential to affect clinical outcomes for Latinx colorectal cancer patients both directly and indirectly, including improving health-related quality of life, health care utilization, and reducing social needs.
