Cancer Screening: Patient Navigation Services to Increase Cervical Cancer Screening and Advance Health Equity

Summary of CPSTF Finding

The Community Preventive Services Task Force (CPSTF) recommends patient navigation services to increase cervical cancer screening by Pap test among historically disadvantaged racial and ethnic populations and people with lower incomes.

Patient navigation services are expected to advance health equity when implemented among these populations who often have lower screening rates (Sabatino et al. 2021). With timely and appropriate follow-up care and treatment, patient navigation services may improve health for these groups.

The CPSTF has related findings for patient navigation interventions to increase screenings for the following:

Intervention

Patient navigation services provided through healthcare systems help patients overcome barriers to accessing cervical cancer screening. Services are offered to populations experiencing greater disparities in cancer screening, including people from historically disadvantaged racial and ethnic populations or people with lower incomes. Patient navigation services do one or more of the following:

Services may also provide one-on-one or group education to inform patients’ understanding of cancer and cancer screening.

Services may be delivered by community health workers (CHWs), healthcare professionals, nurses, patient navigators, social workers, or others. They are often designed to be culturally- and language-appropriate.

About The Systematic Review

The CPSTF finding is based on evidence from a systematic review that examined intervention effectiveness in increasing breast, cervical, or colorectal cancer screenings. The review included 34 studies identified from an existing systematic review (Nelson et al. 2020; search period January 1996 to July 2019) and an updated search (search period through November 2021).

Of the 34 included studies, 3 evaluated intervention effects on cervical cancer screening.

The systematic review was conducted on behalf of the CPSTF by a team of specialists in systematic review methods, and in research, practice, and policy related to cancer prevention and control.

Context

Screening for cervical cancer, combined with appropriate follow-up diagnosis and treatment, can reduce cancer incidence and mortality (USPSTF 2018). In 2018, cervical cancer screening rates in the United States were below the Healthy People 2020 targets, and Healthy People 2030 adjusted their targets based on 2018 data. Rates are even lower among people self-identified as American Indian and Alaska Native or Asian, people qualifying for Medicaid, and people who do not have health insurance (Sabatino et al. 2021). Identifying and expanding the use of evidence-based interventions to increase screenings can help reduce screening disparities.

Patient navigation services were designed to eliminate barriers and promote access to timely diagnosis and treatment of cancer (Freeman et al. 2011). These services guide patients through healthcare system barriers from pre-diagnosis through all phases of cancer treatment (Freeman et al. 2011). Barriers may be financial or structural or associated with communication or access to information (CDC 2021). Barriers may also include patients’ mistrust of the healthcare system or fear of possible cancer diagnoses (CDC 2021; Freeman et al. 2011).

Summary of Results

Detailed results from the systematic review are available in the CPSTF Finding and Rationale Statement.

The systematic review included three studies.

  • Patient navigation interventions increased cervical cancer screening by a median of 22.5 percentage points or 64.5%.

Summary of Economic Evidence

Detailed results from the systematic review are available in the CPSTF Finding and Rationale Statement.

The systematic review of economic evidence did not identify enough studies to determine the cost-effectiveness of patient navigation services to increase cervical cancer screening.

The economic review (search period through December 2022) included two studies for cervical cancer and two studies for multiple cancers (breast, cervical, and other cancers). All studies were conducted in the United States, and monetary values are reported in 2022 dollars.

Intervention Cost

  • Intervention costs per person for cervical cancer screening intervention: $103 and $794 (2 studies).
    • Costs per additional person screened: $533 and $56

Cost-effectiveness

  • Cost per quality-adjusted life year (QALY): $924 (1 study). CPSTF could not determine cost-effectiveness of patient navigation services to increase cervical cancer screening because of the limited body of evidence.

Applicability

Based on results from the systematic review, findings are applicable to adults and older adults with different baseline screening status, across educational levels, employment, and insurance status.

Evidence suggests programs can be offered in urban or rural settings, include different intervention components, and be delivered by a range of providers who work alone or as part of a team.

Evidence Gaps

CPSTF identified several areas that have limited information. Additional research and evaluation could help answer the following questions and fill remaining gaps in the evidence base. Evidence gaps were identified for breast, cervical, and colorectal cancer screenings. (What are evidence gaps?)

CPSTF identified the following questions as priorities for research and evaluation:

  • How effective are patient navigation services in increasing the following?
    • Repeat screenings (the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force recommends repeating breast, cervical, and colorectal cancer screenings at appropriate intervals [USPSTF 2016, 2018, 2021]); the included studies examined one-time screenings
    • The proportion of patients with positive screening tests who receive follow-up diagnostic tests
    • Cervical cancer screening for younger females (USPSTF recommends females start regular cervical cancer screening at age 21 years [USPSTF 2018]); the included studies recruited participants with a median age of 59.5 years.
  • What is the cost-effectiveness of patient navigation services to increase cervical cancer screening?

Remaining questions for research and evaluation identified by CPSTF:

  • How effective are patient navigation services in increasing the following?
    • Cervical cancer screening that includes HPV tests (following the 2018 update from USPSTF that recommended high risk HPV testing alone or in combination with cytology for women aged 30 to 65 years)
    • Colorectal cancer screening for adults aged 45-49 years (following the 2021 update from USPSTF that lowered the starting age for colorectal cancer screenings)
    • Colorectal cancer screening using other USPSTF-recommended tests such as the stool DNA test, flexible sigmoidoscopy, or computed tomography colonography
  • Does intervention effectiveness vary by the following?
    • Participants’ health literacy
    • Number of interactions between service deliverers and participants
  • What is the precise economic impact of patient navigation services within comprehensive health promotion interventions?

Study Characteristics

The following characteristics describe the 34 included studies across all three cancer types.
  • All included studies were conducted in the United States.
  • Studies were conducted in clinic (22 studies) or clinic and community (12 studies) settings, and in urban (26 studies), rural (5 studies), or a mix of urban and rural areas (2 studies).
  • Study participants had a mean age of 59.5 years (25 studies), self-identified as American Indian or Alaska Native (1 study), Asian (4 studies), Black or African American (15 studies), Hispanic or Latino (11 studies), Native Hawaiian (1 study), or White (14 studies).
  • Among studies that reported on income and education, the majority of study participants had annual incomes below 150% of the federal poverty level (16 studies), and had a high school education or less (14 studies).
  • Interventions offered one to six services including assistance with appointment scheduling (20 studies) or transportation (13 studies), reductions in administrative barriers (23 studies), and one-on-one education (24 studies).
  • Services were delivered remotely (15 studies) or both remotely and face-to-face (18 studies); no services were delivered face-to-face only.
  • Services were most often delivered by CHWs or dedicated patient navigators who worked alone (CHWs, 6 studies; navigator, 14 studies) or on a team (CHWs, 3 studies; navigator, 6 studies).

Analytic Framework

Effectiveness Review

When starting an effectiveness review, the systematic review team develops an analytic framework. The analytic framework illustrates how the intervention approach is thought to affect public health. It guides the search for evidence and may be used to summarize the evidence collected. The analytic framework often includes intermediate outcomes, potential effect modifiers, potential harms, and potential additional benefits.

Economic Review

The economic review team develops an analytic framework to align economic outcomes with each stage of the effectiveness review analytic framework. It informs the economic research questions and may be used to summarize the evidence for intervention cost, economic benefit, cost-effectiveness, and cost-benefit.

Economic Review

In December 2022, a research librarian used the terms listed below to search the following databases: Medline, Embase, PsycINFO, Cochrane, Sociological Abstracts, CINAHL, and Scopus.

The review team also screened reference lists of included studies and consulted subject matter experts about additional studies that may have been missed. Search terms and strategies were adjusted for each database, based on controlled and uncontrolled vocabularies and software.

Two team members independently screened each paper identified to determine eligibility. Uncertainties and disagreements were resolved by consensus among review team members.

Considerations for Implementation

Evidence from the systematic review suggests patient navigation services adjusted to fit local needs and resources can increase cancer screenings among people from historically disadvantaged racial or ethnic groups and people with lower incomes. Evidence suggests programs with different intervention characteristics implemented in different settings will be effective.
  • Patient navigation services examined in this review were delivered by a wide array of deliverers, including CHWs, trained lay patient or professional navigators, nurses, case managers, or clinic staff. Delivery may be enhanced when deliverers have local knowledge, provide language-appropriate and culturally competent services, have flexible working hours to better fit patients’ schedules, and work closely with healthcare providers.
  • Patient navigation services can be delivered remotely, which might help in rural areas or other settings where transportation is difficult. Programs may combine face-to-face and remote interactions based on the unique needs of the delivers and patients.
  • Patient navigation services can be provided at every step along the cancer continuum to guide patients through the healthcare system and reduce cancer mortality, and in some cases incidence.
