| Principle | Description (from PISABa) | Application |

| Analyzing power | As a society, we often believe that individuals and/or their communities are solely responsible for their conditions. Through the analysis of institutional power, we can identify and unpack the systems external to the community that create the internal realities many people experience daily. | Formative research in the intervention development stage of ACCURE examined institutional power in the cancer care system. This work led GHDC to identify transparency as a key principle to guide the design of the ACCURE intervention.b |
| Maintaining accountability | Organizing with integrity requires that we be accountable to the communities struggling with racist oppression. | GHDC designed ACCURE to increase cancer center accountability to Black patients.b |
