Grand Rounds Details:

Please join us (remotely) for a virtual BRIDGE-C2 Grand Rounds presentation, “Geographic Disparities in Cancer Prevention and Outcomes: Implications for Interventions”, presented by Jennifer Moss, Ph.D.

Cancer prevention, screening, and outcomes vary by geographic characteristics. For example, compared to urban communities, rural communities tend to have higher smoking levels but lower vaccine uptake, lower screening, and higher cancer incidence and mortality. Other community-level factors, such as racial residential segregation and median household income, are also associated with cancer disparities. Understanding these patterns can provide greater insight into acceptability and impact of interventions aiming to improve cancer outcomes.

Learning Objectives:

After this presentation, audience members should be able to

                        1. Understand the relevance of contextual and compositional characteristics of communities for cancer control.

                         2. Consider implications of geography for cancer control interventions
