Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Self-reported cancer screening history | Baseline (completion of survey) | Assessed as the proportion of incarcerated women who meet national cancer screening guidelines based on self-reported screening history. Participants will complete a 4-page, paper-based, anonymous survey that should take approximately 15 minutes to complete. The survey consists of mainly yes/no questions with a few multiple choice and open-ended questions. This is a qualitative survey used to record basic demographic information, cancer knowledge, risk factors, screening history, and adherence to preventive cancer care. Survey results will be used to inform the content of a tailored digital educational module on screenable types of cancer, their risk factors, and current screening guidelines. |
