“Participatory Design & Evaluation of STEER: A Clinic-Based Tool to Help Health Providers Support Breast Cancer Care Needs in Rural Florida”
Bankhead-Coley Cancer Research Program Grant
Research Grant: $348,510
This three-year new investigator research (NIR) aims to: (1) use participatory approaches to design a clinic-based tool to help build rural health providers’ capacity to  improve screening rates and access to breast cancer care resources within rural non-white and low-SES populations; and (2) evaluate the system’s usability, sustainability, and perceived benefits in a rural health clinic setting , as well as its effects on increasing physicians’ breast cancer screening referrals and rural patients’ adherence to breast cancer screening and treatment referrals. The proposed system, STEER (System for Tracking, Empowering, Equipping, and Reminding) will: send regular alerts to physicians to provide timely referrals in accordance with breast cancer screening guidelines; generate screening reminders that will include information and recommended actions tailored to patients’ specific needs or perceived barriers to cancer care; provide a tool to collect information from at risk patients and enable better tracking of patients throughout the cancer care continuum; and provide a tool to help monitor physician and patient adherence to breast cancer screening guidelines.
