2019 BRFSS Survey Results: Eastern North Carolina

Cancer Survivorship

A patient navigator is a trained professional who helps guide a patient through the healthcare system, which may include help going through the screening, diagnosis, treatment and follow-up of cancer.
Patient navigators may also help patients communicate with healthcare providers, insurance companies, employers, case managers, and/or lawyers to assist patients in obtaining emotional, social, legal or financial support.
At what point during the course of your cancer treatment were you introduced to your patient navigator?*

PLEASE NOTE: Due to changes in the weighting methodology and other factors, results from 2019
are NOT comparable to 2010 and earlier years.

Sub-group estimates have been suppressed because they do not meet statistical reliability standards.

^Use caution in interpreting cell sizes less than 50, % = Percentage, C.I.(95%) = Confidence Interval (at 95 percent probability level).
Percentages are weighted to population characteristics and therefore cannot be calculated exactly from the numbers in this table.
