Summary

This trial will evaluate whether patient navigation can help reduce delays in breast cancer diagnosis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for patients with abnormal breast screening results during the COVID-19 pandemic who haven't had further diagnostic evaluation. It's aimed at those most affected by delays in follow-up due to the pandemic. Participants must be able to give consent.
What is being tested?
The study is testing if patient navigator support can help people get timely follow-up care after an abnormal mammogram, especially during the disruptions caused by COVID-19. The goal is to see if this support reduces delays in diagnosing breast cancer.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves patient navigation rather than a medical treatment or drug, there are no direct side effects associated with it like you might expect from medication.
