Cancer , Healthy

The purpose of this study is to evaluate patient navigation programs designed to reduce barriers to cancer screening and improve healthcare experiences for adults living in Chicago. Participants will be asked to complete two surveys: the first survey shortly after the participants join the study and a second survey after 1 year. Participants will be joining one of three patient navigation programs, assigned at random. The investigators expect the participants to be in this patient navigation program for 12 months, followed by a 1-month window to complete the final survey.

This study aims to examine the effects of education provided to mothers of children aged 9-15 within the framework of the Health Belief Model on mothers' knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors about Human Papillomavirus (HPV), and their willingness to have their children vaccinated against HPV. The study, designed with a randomized controlled experimental design, will be conducted at three different Family Health Centers in Gaziantep and will consist of both experimental and control groups. Mothers in the experimental group will receive a three-session visually supported education program prepared by Yıldız USCA, while the control group will receive routine information using HPV brochures from the Ministry of Health. Data collection tools include a personal information form, an HPV knowledge scale, and an HPV Health Belief Model scale.
