R01CA233848-S1 (Hunleth, supplement lead; James, PI of R01)

This study responds to a funding opportunity NOT-CA-20-035, “Research in Geographically Underserved Areas,” with the objective of elucidating the nature and context of CRC screening supporters’ roles in GUAs. In this implementation science study, we are using participatory methods to foreground participants’ perspectives given the limited extent of our knowledge about supporters. This additional work expands the public health impact of R01CA233848 by (1) identifying patterns and social determinants of colonoscopy support in GUAs, and (2) determining how supporters may shape the outcomes and processes of the multi-level intervention, an element missing from many discussions of multi-level interventions.
