ClinConnect Summary

The CO-CAPTAIN clinical trial is studying how to help people with mental health issues access important cancer prevention services. The goal is to create a supportive program that removes barriers and provides assistance to individuals who might otherwise struggle to get the care they need. This program is designed to empower patients by offering social support and ensuring they can easily access the services that help prevent cancer.

To participate in this study, you need to be at least 18 years old and either have been diagnosed with a mental health disorder or be a healthcare professional who works with individuals with mental health challenges. While the trial is open to everyone, it does not include individuals who cannot consent to participate. If you join, you can expect to receive help and resources that make it easier to prioritize your health and reduce the risk of cancer. This project is particularly important because it aims to support a group that often faces additional challenges in getting healthcare services.
