New CPSTF Recommendation on Community Health Workers and Cancer Screening
Screening checks your body for cancer before you have symptoms and helps find cancer at an early stage, when treatment is likely to work best. The Community Preventive Services Task Force (CPSTF) helps build the evidence base to promote and increase cancer screenings for underserved populations. The CPSTF recommends interventions that engage community health workers to increase screening for breast, cervical, or colorectal cancer. These interventions use approaches such as group education to increase community demand and assistance with appointment scheduling to improve community access to screening services.
Evidence shows an increase in screening rates when community health workers deliver interventions independently or as part of a team.
