| Although incidence and mortality rates of most cancers continue to decline, cancer is still the second leading cause of death among women in the U.S. Underserved populations are disproportionately affected by several cancers, including breast, cervical and colorectal cancer, and this session presents strategies for addressing this issue in diverse populations of women. Results are derived from both quantitative and qualitative methodologies employed in a variety of settings. Health communication about cancer and screening, as well as cancer caregiving and support will also be discussed. | |||
| Learning Objectives: By the end of the session, the participant will be able to (1) identify at least two tools that enhance efforts to eliminate cancer disparities; (2) describe the components and results of at least one intervention designed to improve cancer-related outcomes; and (3) describe how interdisciplinary approaches address cancer communication and screening. | |||
