Rural Endometrial Cancer Patients Providers and Healthcare Administrators

The purpose of this project is to identify and target barriers faced by rural endometrial cancer patients in order to develop a patient navigation intervention. Rural residents with endometrial cancer, the most prevalent gynecologic cancer in the US, have higher odds of mortality than urban endometrial cancer patients. As the number of new endometrial cancer cases is expected to increase 50% by 2030, this urban-rural disparity is expected to continue widening.

Meet Me Where I am:PreP

To increase access to Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) across North Carolina. HIV Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) medication has been proven to be effective at preventing HIV infection when taken as prescribed. Even though PrEP has been shown to be effective, not all health care settings currently offer PrEP to their patients. Part of the reason for this is that there are not enough health care providers who prescribe PrEP, and, some people have difficulty getting the cost of PrEP and PrEP care covered. The purpose of this study is to test new ways to increase access to PrEP for people in North Carolina. The intervention will test whether providing access to resources related to PrEP care at health department sexually transmitted infection (STI) clinics will increase the number of people who start using PrEP.
