Clinical Trial Summary
The investigators are conducting a longitudinal mixed-method intervention study with a
multi-center, multi-case explanatory sequential design. The ECEMSo study aims to identify the
impact of health mediation on fostering healthcare utilization, in particular organized
cancer screening uptake, by underserved populations living in informal housing in France.
Description:
Health mediation may foster underserved populations' healthcare utilization. No study to date
has demonstrated its effectiveness in an experimental context. The ECEMSo case study aims to
identify the impact of health mediation on fostering healthcare utilization - in particular
organized cancer screening uptake - by underserved populations living in informal housing in
France.
Grounded in a theory-based framework, the ECEMSo case study is a longitudinal mixed-method
intervention study with a multi-center, multi-case explanatory sequential design. The study
population comprises various participant profiles including health mediators, health workers,
social workers, people living in informal housing whom these professionals support, and other
stakeholders concerned with underserved populations' health issues. Participants will be
recruited in several French regions and divided into three mixed participant profile groups.
In group 1, health mediation and the ECEMSo intervention will be implemented. This
intervention comprises knowledge mobilization to facilitate the structuring of health
mediation throughout France, and the development of an action plan to facilitate cancer
screening uptake by people living in informal housing. In group 2, only health mediation will
be implemented (i.e., no ECEMSo intervention). In group 3, neither health mediation nor the
ECEMSo intervention will be implemented, but health and social workers will implement other
health system navigation interventions.
Quantitative and qualitative data will be collected by interviewers through face-to-face
questionnaires, interviews, observations, focus groups, and tracking tables of health
mediation activities over six months. Data collection will be based on the health mediation
conceptual framework.
