Cancer center community outreach teams |
Prioritize communities needing services from a mobile mammography unit based on high rates of late-stage breast cancer diagnosis, low mammography facility density, and poor transportation access
Compare certain process measures (e.g., time from diagnosis to treatment), risk factors, and outcomes (e.g., incidence, mortality, stage at diagnosis) for patients across communities, benchmarked against state/national averages
Report outcomes for NCI-designated cancer center catchment areas
|
Cancer advocacy organizations |
Prioritize communities/subpopulations for advocacy and funding activities
Compile descriptive cancer burden statistics for a population of particular interest to a foundation grant funder
Provide data to inform government-targeted advocacy activities
|
Local public health |
|
Researchers |
Provide community-level data to local partners to stimulate hypothesis generation and inform study design as a component of community-engaged/partnered research
Identify the size and demographic makeup of relevant sampling frames as part of determining study feasibility
Compile inclusion enrollment data for population-based study proposals
Use demographic, process, and outcomes data to target primary data collection (e.g., semi-structured interviews) in disparities research
