Reducing cancer disparities is a major public health objective. Disparities often are discussed in terms of either race and ethnicity or socioeconomic status (SES), without examining interactions between these variables. Surveillance, Epidemiology, End Results (SEER)-18 data, excluding Alaska Native Louisiana registries, from 2002 to 2008, were used estimate five-year, cause-specific survival by race/ethnicity census tract SES. Differences groups assess absolute disparities. Hazard ratios...
ther unnecessary, of low value or wasteful (Institute Medicine, 2013).The third plenary panel brought different perspectives on the enduring and evolving challenges in dissemination evidence evidence-based practices as well opportunities emerging from innovations digital health sector.The sessions were complemented by facilitated lunchtime discussions these topics, additional research priorities, which enabled more in-depth discussions, question answer time, brainstorming future...
As the focus has grown in recent years on both engaged research and dissemination implementation (D&I) research, so too federal funding to support these areas. The purpose of this analysis is provide an overall perspective about range practices approaches being used engage partners D&I with special attention disparities-relevant identify gaps opportunities funded by US National Institutes Health (NIH) space.
Population-based cancer registries that include patient follow-up generally provide information regarding net survival (ie, associated with the risk of dying in absence competing risks). However, registry data also can be used to calculate from presence risks, which is more clinically relevant.Statistical methods were developed predict death and other causes, as well natural life expectancy if did not have based on a profile prognostic factors including characteristics cancer, demographic...
Historically, researchers and policy planners have selected a single indicator to measure trends in social inequalities. A more rigorous approach is review the literature data, select appropriate inequality measures address research question, compute results from various indices, graphically compare resulting trends. The Health Disparities Calculator (HD*Calc, version 1.2.4; National Cancer Institute, Bethesda, MD) computes different indices displays them, making an arduous task easier,...
To reduce the research to practice gap, promoting utility of evidence-based repositories is essential among both practitioners and researchers. Organizing these address needs audiences requires a user-centered design approach as proposed recently in an article by Harden et al, 2020. This commentary builds on solutions introduce redesigned Evidence-Based Cancer Control Programs (EBCCP) web repository (formerly Research-Tested Intervention (RTIPs)) from National Institute. Specifically, we...
The Cancer Control P.L.A.N.E.T. (P.L.A.N.E.T.) Web portal was designed to ease access data and evidence-based resources for cancer control practitioners researchers focused on developing, implementing, evaluating programs.To determine usability, applicability, opportunities improve the after significant changes over time.The National Institute surveyed interviewed professionals assess factors influencing utilization of Data were collected from May 2017 June 2018 via partner agencies,...
Abstract Prostate cancer, the leading non-skin malignant cancer among men, affects black men disproportionately. Black are typically diagnosed at an earlier age and have a higher rate of aggressive tumors compared to other races. 58% risk developing prostate almost 150% mortality from white men. Little is known about cause disease uncovering causes disparities remains challenging. One possible contributing factor differences in socioeconomic status (SES).This study investigates relationship...
Abstract Lung cancer is the third most common in US and leading cause of death. The accurate profiling lung (i.e. depiction magnitude this disease among different population subgroups at state local levels) necessary to inform development effective control programs areas impacted, subsequently, reduce burden. One prerequisites for a high quality data. Unfortunately, researchers often rely on combination data sources that may differ quality, completeness other important attributes. State...
Abstract Background: As the focus has grown in recent years on both engaged research and dissemination implementation (D&I) research, so too federal funding to support these areas. The purpose of this analysis is provide an overall perspective about range practices approaches being used engage partners D&I with special attention disparities-relevant identify gaps opportunities funded by U.S. National Institutes Health (NIH) space. Methods: This examined a portfolio active grants...
Abstract Colorectal cancer is the third most common in US and accounts for second highest deaths among men women. Scientific evidence shows colorectal as one of preventable cancers, if detected treated early. National efforts are underway to accelerate uptake screening 80% eligible adults being screened by 2018. The Cancer Control P.L.A.N.E.T. (Plan, Link, Act, Network with Evidence-based Tool) a comprehensive web portal that can be used inform development effective control programs,...
Abstract Background: Evidence-based guidelines for preventive services are developed by expert groups such as the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) to help Americans stay healthy. Despite proven value of evidence-based (e.g., screenings, provider counseling, and medications), implementation providers uptake patients vary, contributing disparities in disease burden life expectancy. The NIH convened a workshop with multidisciplinary multisector participants June 2019 assess...
