Keeping clients healthy: Integrating proactive health screening and referral into 2-1-1 systems
Eliminating health disparities by increasing the reach and effectiveness of cancer information in low-income and minority populations.
- Integrating cancer communication into practice
- System-level interventions
- Real-world settings
- 2-1-1
- Food Stamps
- Public Housing
- Low-income Energy Assistance
Why this approach?Three key points
• Basic needs supersede cancer prevention

Why this approach?Three key points
• Basic needs supersede cancer prevention
• Systems addressing basic needs reach millions
• Integration of health could be a Win-Win-Win
1. Our study results
2. Activities nationally
3. Questions & discussion
Today’s presentation
Study 1: Is it feasible?
Kate Eddens, Matthew Kreuter, Kay Archer, Debbie Fagin
Pilot studyNovember, 2007 – February, 2008
• Aim 1: Estimate cancer control needs of callers
• Aim 2: Determine feasibility of cancer referrals
- Mammography
- Pap testing
- Colonoscopy
- HPV vaccine
- Smoking
- Smoke-free home policies
Disparities associated with all of them
Effective tests or interventions for all
Programs available that provide them for free
Why these six?
Mammograms
Pap smears
Colonoscopies
HPV vaccination
Smoking cessation
Smoke free home policy
Need at least one 85%
Need two or more 54%
Need three or more 30%
Current cancer control needs of 2-1-1 callers

Pilot studyNovember, 2007 – February, 2008
• Aim 1: Estimate cancer control needs of callers
• Aim 2: Determine feasibility of cancer referrals
Telephone follow-up 2 weeks later- What did they think of the mailed referrals?- Did they make a call and/or schedule an appointment?
Reactions to mailed referrals (n=39)
Outcome %
Recall getting referral 92%Recall getting mailing 54%Read all of mailing 41%Liked mailing a lot 62%Very easy to understand 67%Called referral agency 26%Made an appointment 13%
Willingness to participateAmong 2-1-1 callers in pilot study
• 58% agreed to answer cancer risk questions
• 91% agreed to participate in randomized trial
• 81% could be contacted at 2-week follow-up
Appropriateness of health questionsAmong 2-1-1 callers in pilot study
• Should 2-1-1 be asking about health? (56%)
• Health questions too private? (5%)
• Comfortable with mailed health info? (81%)
• Health referrals make 2-1-1 more appealing? (100%)
How is call length affected?
Time to administer survey & provide referrals
• Mean = 4:54 minutes
Enroll into study
• Mean = 2:52 minutes
Conclusions
• High level of need among 2-1-1 callers
• Proactive health referrals are feasible via 2-1-1
• Mailed reminder referrals seem promising
What do we still need to learn?
• Is it scalable?
• How strong a referral is needed?
• Does it work equally well for all callers?
Study 2: National prevalence study
Jason Purnell, Kate Eddens, Matthew Kreuter2-1-1s of Missouri, King County, Houston, North Carolina
Cancer Prevention and Control Research Network
Administered in four 2-1-1 systems
- 2-1-1 callers (n = 1,413)
- 2008 BRFSS (n = 415,194)
2-1-1 callers vs. U.S. population
- Need at least one 72%
- Need two or more 42%
- Need three or more 17%

Coach
Help callers act on referrals by:
• Making appointments
• Providing reminders
• Arranging transportation
• Answering questions
• Addressing barriers
• Explaining systems
- 31 enrolled in pilot
- 29 contacted in 3 weeks (94%)
- 2.7 contacts per person (range 1-6)
- 35% success rate (11 of 31)
Enrollment and contact
- 21 smokers (10 called Quitline)
- 6 needed Pap test (1 obtained, 1 in progress)
- 5 needed mammogram (1 in progress)
- 3 needed smoke free home (2 called hotline)
- 3 needed HPV vaccination (0 obtained)
- 2 needed colonoscopy (0 obtained)
Needs and resolution
1. Which approach works best?
2. What’s the impact on 2-1-1 quality indicators?
3. What factors influence effectiveness?
Key questions
1. Problem resolution
2. Unmet basic needs
3. Sense of coherence
- comprehensibility- manageability- meaningfulness
Factors that could affect outcomes
What will we learn?
• Need for cancer prevention in 2-1-1 callers
• Effectiveness of 2-1-1 referrals for health
• Added benefit of mailed referrals vs. coaches
• Effects when original problem is solved by 2-1-1
• Effects by level of basic needs, SOC
