Using community-based participatory research (CBPR), the DuPage County Patient Navigation Collaborative (DPNC) developed an academic campus-community research partnership aimed at increasing access to care for underserved breast and cervical cancer patients within DuPage County, a collar county of Chicago. Given rapidly shifting demographics, targeting CBPR initiatives among underserved suburban communities is essential.
To discuss the facilitating factors and lessons learned in forging the DPNC.
A patient navigation collaborative was formed to guide medically underserved women through diagnostic resolution and if necessary, treatment, after an abnormal breast or cervical cancer screening.
Facilitating factors included (1) fostering and maintaining collaborations within a suburban context, (2) a systems-based participatory research approach, (3) a truly equitable community-academic partnership, (4) funding adaptability, (5) culturally relevant navigation, and (6) emphasis on co-learning and capacity building.
By highlighting the strategies that contributed to DPNC success, we envision the DPNC to serve as a feasible model for future health interventions.
杜佩奇县患者导航协作组织(DPNC)采用基于社区的参与性研究(CBPR)方法,建立了一个学术校园 - 社区研究伙伴关系,旨在为芝加哥郊区杜佩奇县未得到充分服务的乳腺癌和宫颈癌患者增加获得医疗服务的机会。鉴于人口结构的迅速变化,在服务不足的郊区社区开展基于社区的参与性研究倡议至关重要。
探讨促成DPNC形成的促进因素和经验教训。
成立了一个患者导航协作组织,以指导医疗服务不足的女性在乳腺癌或宫颈癌筛查异常后完成诊断,并在必要时接受治疗。
促进因素包括(1)在郊区环境中促进和维持合作,(2)基于系统的参与性研究方法,(3)真正公平的社区 - 学术伙伴关系,(4)资金适应性,(5)与文化相关的导航,以及(6)强调共同学习和能力建设。
通过强调促成DPNC成功的策略,我们设想DPNC可作为未来健康干预措施的可行模式。
