Abstract With the introduction of Papanicolaou and HPV tests, cervical cancer rates have been reduced by up to 70% in United States since 1950s. In 2018, overall incidence was 8.0/100,000 mortality 2.0/100,000. But despite decline rates, burden still impacts different populations unevenly. For example, Black women Louisiana had a death rate more than twice national average at 4.6/100,000, which can part be attributed disparities screening rates. The All Us Research Program (AoU) is...

Abstract Background: Cancer survivors are at a greater risk of experiencing financial hardship and unmet health-related social needs (HRSN), such as food or housing insecurity, after cancer diagnosis. HRSN has been associated with lower access, utilization, delivery timely quality care poorer cancer-related outcomes. may also be less likely to engage participate in research (e.g., clinical trials). As the most diverse cohort worldwide, All Us Research Program provides unique opportunity...
