PROJECT SUMMARY Rural residents with endometrial cancer (EC), the most prevalent gynecologic cancer in the US, have 8- 17% higher odds of mortality than their urban counterparts. As the number of new EC cases is expected to increase 50% by 2030, this urban-rural disparity is expected to continue widening. Contributing to this disparity is the reduced receipt of guideline-concordant treatment; in particular, rural patients with EC are less likely to receive comprehensive surgical care, the cornerstone of regional stage EC treatment. The overall objective of this project is to identify and target multilevel barriers to receiving guideline- concordant treatment among rural EC patients by developing and piloting a patient navigation intervention. Patient navigation interventions can address a multitude of barriers faced by medically underserved cancer patients and have been shown to shorten time to initiating treatment, increase receipt of and adherence to treatment, and improve patient satisfaction. However, because of the substantial variation in the design and delivery of patient navigation interventions, developing effective and cost-effective interventions for new contexts and populations has become a major challenge; among treatment-related patient navigation interventions, most have focused on patients with breast and colorectal cancers. Unlike these cancer patients, EC patients have different needs, such as requiring treatment to be directed by a gynecologic oncologist, who often are only located near urban areas or at academic medical centers. Only 10% of gynecologic oncologists practice in rural areas, and as a result, rural EC patients often travel far distances for care. In the proposed study, I will identify multilevel barriers to receiving guideline-concordant treatment among rural women with EC (Aim 1), use intervention mapping to design a patient navigation intervention (Aim 2), and pilot a patient navigation intervention (Aim 3). Using intervention mapping to design an EC navigation intervention will not only precisely target the multilevel barriers to treatment but also will optimize the fit and implementation of the navigation program within the gynecologic oncology setting. This approach is novel in that it integrates the identification of appropriate implementation strategies into the program’s design. This project will provide preliminary data for an R01 application to test the developed patient navigation intervention in a Type 1, hybrid effectiveness-implementation trial. The expected outcomes of this study will contribute to the National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities’ mission of using interventions to eliminate health disparities among medically underserved populations. Additionally, I will receive training in (1) community-engaged research methods to understand the multi-level determinants of cancer care equity, (2) designing interventions to fit specific populations and context, and (3) conducting intervention studies. This project will contribute to my long-term goal of becoming an independent investigator who develops and evaluates interventions to reduce disparities in cancer care and outcomes among underserved populations.

项目摘要 子宫内膜癌（EC）的农村居民是美国最普遍的妇科癌症，患有8-- 死亡率比其城市案件高17％。 到2030年增加了50％，这种城乡差距将继续扩大。 尤其是对指南征用治疗的收到的人； 接受Compuregension手术护理，这是区域阶段EC治疗的基石。 这是确定和塔尔蒂尔的总体目的 通过开发和驾驶患者导航干预措施，在农村EC患者中进行一致治疗。 患者导航干预措施可以解决医疗服务不足的癌症所面临的障碍 患者并已被证明缩短了开始治疗，增加接受和依从性的时间。 但是，由于设计的实质性差异 交付贴合导航干预措施，为新的开发有效且具有成本效益的干预措施 上下文和爆炸已成为一个主要挑战。 干预措施，大多数专注于乳腺癌和结直肠癌的患者。 EC患者有不同的需求，例如需要通过妇科肿瘤学指导治疗。 通常位于城市地区或学术医疗中心。 在延长区域进行练习，作为阿苏群岛，农村EC患者通常会走很远的距离。 研究，我将确定在EC的Rualal妇女中接受指导方针治疗的多层次障碍 （AIM 1），使用干预映射设计通气导航干预（AIM 2），然后驾驶患者 导航干预（AIM 3）。 仅准确针对多层次治疗障碍，但也会优化您的拟合和植入 妇科肿瘤学中的导航计划是新颖的。 将适当的实施策略标识到该计划的设计中。 该项目提供了针对R01应用程序的预预制作数据，以测试已发达的患者导航 在1型混合有效性试验中的间隔。 为美国国家少数民族和健康差异的使命做出贡献，即使用干预措施 除了医学欠缺的人群中，消除了健康差异。 社区参与的研究方法了解癌症护理公平的多层次决定因素，（2） 设计干预措施以适合特定的人群和环境，以及（3）审核干预研究 项目有助于我成为发展和发展的独立调查员的长期目标 评估干预症以减少癌症护理的差异和人群之间的结果。
