Abstract Background: The Center to Reduce Cancer Health Disparities (CRCHD), National Institute (NCI), launched Screen Save, NCI's Colorectal Outreach and Screening Initiative promote awareness knowledge of colorectal cancer in racial/ethnic rural populations. Methods: initiative was implemented through CRCHD's Network (NON) Comprehensive Partnerships Advance Equity (CPACHE) programs. NON is a national network Community Educators (CHEs), aligned with NCI-designated Centers (CCs). CPACHE are...
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related mortality in Utah despite having nation's lowest smoking rate. Radon exposure and differences lung incidence between nonmetropolitan metropolitan areas may explain this phenomenon. We compared smoking-adjusted rates counties by predicted indoor radon level, sex, stage. also county classification all SEER sites.SEER*Stat provided annual age-adjusted per 100,000 from 1991 to 2010 for each other sites. County classification, stage, sex were...
Multicomponent skin cancer preventive interventions for adolescents that aim to decrease ultraviolet radiation (UVR) exposure and sunburns are particularly needed given their intentional tanning infrequent use of sun protection. The purpose this study was conduct an early-phase within the Multiphase Optimization Strategy framework experimentally tested four unique intervention components targeting high school students' prevention behaviors. Schools (11 total, N = 1,573 students) were...
Abstract Community outreach and engagement (COE) is a fundamental activity of cancer centers as they aim to reduce disparities in their geographic catchment areas. As part COE, NCI-Designated Cancer Centers must monitor the burden area, implement evaluate evidence-based strategies, stimulate area relevant research, support clinical trial enrollment, participate policy advocacy initiatives, addition other responsibilities. The Center Impact Forum (CCCIF) national annual meeting COE...
Outdoor recreation can lead to substantial sun exposure. Employees of outdoor establishments with extended time outdoors have amplified cumulative exposure ultraviolet (UV) radiation and an increased risk skin cancer. The "Sun Safe on the Slopes" program was created by Huntsman Cancer Institute at University Utah Action Network address UV cancer free screenings, outreach, prevention education local ski resorts. Herein, we describe processes barriers implementation a resort screening our...
Abstract Background/Purpose: The purpose is to demonstrate the reach of social media in cancer communication urban and rural populations Utah. Online communications, tools, aids offer easy, cost-effective ways a large number people across geographic distances. In 2008, 79% U.S. adults were online 80% searching for health information. Social provide an ideal platform communicate educate audiences vast areas such as Utah, which defined either (<100 person/sq. mile) or frontier...

Abstract Background/Purpose The purpose of this study is to collect community health needs assessment data specific rural Utah as part designing tailored prevention and education programs. Cancer prevention, screening, access treatment in Rural presents a unique set challenges. large state with vast sparsely populated areas. More than 96% the defined either (<100 persons/sq. mile) or frontier (<7 mile). In Utah, these populations contend great distances from academic care...
e13076 Background: Cancer prevention and cancer screening behaviors are challenging to support. A myriad of variables including improved knowledge, language access, health care access serve as facilitators for behaviors. Utah is a vast state that remarkably sparsely populated with more than 96% the defined either rural (< 100 persons per square mile) or frontier 7 mile). Huntsman Institute only academic center in Mountain West serves NCI Comprehensive Center region. Methods: Access...
Abstract In 2016, the National Cancer Institute (NCI)'s Center to Reduce Health Disparities (CRCHD) launched Screen Save: Colorectal Outreach and Screening Initiative (S2S). The initiative's primary goal aligned with Blue Ribbon Panel Moonshot recommendations increase colorectal cancer (CRC) screening rates by 80% 2018. Nationally, S2S was implemented Community Educators (CHEs) from NCI-Designated Centers. implementation Phase 1 included education awareness, phase 2, connection at-home a...
