screening in the Hispanic-Latino population,  including language barriers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Researchers enrolled nearly 700 Spanish-speaking adults in Providence, in a 28-month program that included outreach and guidance by a Spanish-speaking health navigator of Hispanic-Latino origin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">KJZZ <a
