A Patient Navigation Manual for Latino Audience: The Redes En Accion Experience outlines the necessary steps and provides tools to incorporate patient navigation for Hispanics/Latinos at an organization. Patient navigation aims to reduce cancer health disparities - "differences in incidence, prevalence, mortality, and burden of cancer and related adverse health conditions that exist among specific population groups in the U.S." The manual was created by Redes En Acción: The National Latino Cancer Research Network. Many of the patient navigator templates and examples provided throughout this manual stem from the Redes En Acción: National Patient Navigator Intervention Study, which tested patient navigation's ability to decrease Latina's lag times from abnormal screening to confirmatory diagnosis and treatment initiation in San Antonio, Texas.
