Our advisory board prioritized 15 determinants. A logic model of change outlined targeted determinants to improve receipt of high-quality treatment and reduce morbidity and mortality. The navigation program was designed to support rural patients from diagnosis through treatment completion. Key elements of the navigation program included rapport-building and longitudinal assessments to identify evolving barriers, address financial and transportation barriers, and provide emotional and informational support. Intervention materials developed included informational patient-facing materials, resource guides for navigators, and navigator scripts. Implementation strategies included clinical champions, a learning collaborative, and ongoing feedback. Our evaluation plan incorporated implementation outcomes (e.g., reach, fidelity, cost, acceptability) and effectiveness measures (e.g., patient-reported outcomes, treatment timeliness).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Intervention mapping provided a systematic framework for designing a patient navigation program targeting the barriers to care experienced by rural EC patients. Future work will test the intervention to assess feasibility, acceptability, and effectiveness in diverse clinical settings. This approach provides a replicable, evidence-based method to create navigation interventions for addressing the needs of high-risk populations.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/17455057261476904","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,25]],"date-time":"2026-08-25T17:26:17Z","timestamp":1787678777000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Development of a patient navigation intervention for rural patients diagnosed with endometrial cancer: An intervention mapping approach"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"22","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5680-9330","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Lisa P.","family":"Spees","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"University of North Carolina"},{"name":"University of North Carolina"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Victoria M.","family":"Petermann","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Virginia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Brianna D.","family":"Taffe","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of North Carolina"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Blen M.","family":"Biru","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of North Carolina"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sharon M.","family":"Bigelow","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of North Carolina"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jhalak","family":"Dholakia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"East Carolina University"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Stephanie B.","family":"Wheeler","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of North Carolina"},{"name":"University of North Carolina"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Victoria L.","family":"Bae-Jump","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of North Carolina"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jennifer","family":"Leeman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of North Carolina"},{"name":"University of North Carolina"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,25]]},"reference":[{"issue":"15","key":"e_1_3_8_2_2","first-page":"3539","article-title":"The History and Principles of Patient Navigation","volume":"117","author":"Freeman HP","year":"2011","unstructured":"Freeman HP, Rodriguez RL.
