Conclusion The findings clearly demonstrate the effectiveness of the CNP in facilitating access to breast, cervical and colorectal cancer screening through community education and navigation activities during FY2012-FY2016. The program made measurable progress in enhancing awareness and attitude related to cancer care; increasing recruitment and retention of at-risk population, including never or rarely screened women and women of color; increasing the breast and cervical screening rates; and decreasing the breast cancer incidence rate. The program also achieved measurable progresses in regards to program operation and data management over the project period. The results indicate that this program has greatly contributed to the public health community’s efforts to promote early detection in breast, cervical and colorectal cancer among underserved women and reduce disparities in cancer care and prevention.
