Risk factors and possible solutions for radiation exposures and substances related to Micronesians with respect to cancer.

Key Concept	Risk Factor	Possible Solution
Radiation Exposure	Exposure to radioactive air particles Radiation contaminated food supply Radiation-related trauma	Expand publicly available research on radiation levels in Micronesia to inform public policy Create culturally competent interventions addressing radiation-exposure trauma
Betel Nut and Substance Use	Chewing betel nut with or without tobacco Adolescents chewing betel nut Smoking tobacco Adolescent smoking and secondhand smoke exposure Heavy alcohol consumption (>6 drinks/day)	Develop clinical trials that focus on improving the cancer outcomes for patients with betel nut related oral cavity cancers Improve health literacy around betel nut and substance use in relation to cancer
