Brief summary
The proposed study will develop and test an implementation strategy called Salud en Mis Manos-Dissemination and Implementation Assistance (SEMM-DIA) which is an internet-accessible cross-platform that includes additional implementation support strategies to increase the reach, effectiveness, and implementation of an evidence-based breast and cervical cancer screening and HPV vaccination program for Latinas (SEMM).
Detailed description
This study tests a multicomponent and multifaceted implementation strategy, SEMM-DIA and serves as a model for developing other implementation strategies designed to build the capacity of clinic leadership, intervention champions, and LHWs to plan, manage, and deliver SEMM. Investigators will examine the effect of SEMM-DIA program implementation in a randomized group trial comparing the impact of SEMM-DIA vs. SEMM- Usual Implementation Practice on the reach, effectiveness, implementation, and cost-effectiveness of SEMM in safety-net clinics.
Interventions
BEHAVIORALSalud en Mis Manos - Dissemination and Implementation Assistance
The experimental arm will utilize the multi-component and multifaceted implementation strategy, SEMM-DIA. This includes elements like 1) A program orientation session (virtual or in-person), 2) Technical Assistance for implementers, such as SEMM Program Manager/ Coordinator and LHWs, 3) SEMM program materials (including LHW Training curriculum, in-reach/ outreach materials, patient tracking forms), and 4) Virtual community support (Project ECHO series).
BEHAVIORALSalud en Mis Manos- Usual Implementation Practice
The control arm will undertake SEMM- Usual Implementation Practice, which includes utilizing all existing SEMM program materials (MOPs, LHW Training Curriculum, etc.) which will be shared with clinic staff in PDF form.

Inclusion criteria
Organization inclusion criteria: * Clinic or community health center (CHC) with LHWs serving Latina populations. * Expressed intent to participate in the implementation of SEMM. * Serve low-income populations with low or no-cost screening and vaccination. * Provide comprehensive primary health care services. SEMM Participant Inclusion criteria: * Latinas who self-identify as Hispanic/Latina. * Latinas who have at least one unmet breast or cervical cancer prevention need, following Electronic Clinical Quality Measures. * (1) Latinas aged 21-64 years who have not had a Pap test in the past 3 years, and (2) Latinas aged 30-64 who have not had a HPV test in the past 5 years (CMS eCQM ID: CMS124v9). * (3) Latinas aged 51-74 years who have not had a mammogram in the past 2 years (CMS eCQM ID: CMS125v9). * (4) Latinas aged 18-26 years who have not initiated HPV vaccination. * Note: Some women will have more than one unmet need (e.g., HPV vaccination and pap test), so they will be included in more than one non-adherent group.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Implementation dose is described as the average dose of SEMM received by participants/delivered by LHWs (# of navigation calls). | 4-month follow up | Investigators will assess implementation dose using SEMM participant tracking forms collected for SEMM participants, which record # of navigation calls needed to overcome barriers to complete needed services (mammogram, Pap/HPV test, and HPV vaccination). |
| Reach is measured by the proportion of women who participate in SEMM education sessions among those that are eligible in the clinic (among all eligible patients) & in the community (the number of participants that receive SEMM education). | 4-month follow up | Reach will assess several factors: Among eligible women, what number participate in SEMM education sessions? |
| Effectiveness (for screening) as measured by the percentage of women who complete mammogram screening among all eligible patients. | Baseline | Investigators will assess mammogram completion outcomes using EHR data collection. All participants identified as eligible for a mammogram between program implementation start and end (regardless if identified via in-reach or outreach) will serve as the denominator. |
| Effectiveness (for screening) as measured by the percentage of women who complete cervical cancer screening (Pap or HPV screening test) among all eligible patients. | Baseline | Investigators will assess Pap completion outcomes using EHR data collection. All participants identified as eligible for a Pap or HPV screening test between program implementation start and end (regardless if identified via in-reach or outreach) will serve as the denominator. |
| Effectiveness (for HPV vaccination) as measured by the percentage of female patients who initiate or complete an HPV vaccination among all eligible patients. | Baseline | Investigators will assess HPV vaccination initiation or completion outcomes using EHR data collection. All participants identified as eligible for an HPV vaccination between program implementation start and end (regardless if identified via in-reach or outreach) will serve as the denominator. |
| The level of Implementation will be assessed the extent to which SEMM has been carried out per clinic. (1) | 8-month follow-up | Investigators will assess the level of implementation from baseline to 8-month follow-up using manager assessments. |
| The level of Implementation will be assessed the extent to which SEMM has been carried out per clinic. (2) | 8-month follow-up | Investigators will assess the level of implementation from baseline to 8-month follow-up using LHW assessments. |
| The level of Implementation will be assessed the extent to which SEMM has been carried out per clinic. (3) | 8-month follow-up | Investigators will assess the level of implementation from baseline to 8-month follow-up using in-depth end-of-study interviews with LHWs. |
| The level of Implementation will be assessed the extent to which SEMM has been carried out per clinic. (4) | 8-month follow-up | Investigators will assess the level of implementation from baseline to 8-month follow-up using in-depth end-of-study interviews with managers. |
| Implementation (fidelity) as measured by the degree to which SEMM program components are implemented by LHWs as prescribed. | 4-month follow-up | Investigators will assess implementation fidelity using participant tracking forms (completed by LHWs) to understand their level of fidelity associated with implementing the program. |
| Implementation dose is described as the average dose of SEMM received by participants/delivered by LHWs (time spent in education sessions). | 4-month follow up | Investigators will assess implementation dose using SEMM participant tracking forms collected for SEMM participants, which record time spent in education sessions. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Cost effectiveness of SEMM-DIA in community and clinic practice settings | 8-month follow up | The purpose of the economic analysis is to produce information on the cost-effectiveness of SEMM-DIA in community and clinic practice settings. Investigators will determine the current market value of all ingredients associated with the planning and implementation of the dissemination interventions (from study start to 8-month follow-up), including training and other costs of adapting the intervention to specific sites. |
