Partnership for Native American Cancer Prevention
Francine C. Gachupin, PhD, MPH

In working to address Native American cancer health disparities, it is imperative to build partnerships with tribal communities to increase their trust in the potential benefits of cancer research efforts. The Partnership for Native American Cancer Prevention was established in 2002 and the Partnership’s approach is to expand capacity for culturally-sensitive and community-relevant research on cancer and to continue to develop respectful collaborations that empower sovereign Native American communities to define, implement, and achieve their goals for cancer health equity.

 

Closing the Chasm Between Native Community Priorities in Cancer Prevention and Healthcare Research Priorities

  Siobhan Wescott, MD, MPH
 
Cancer touches all of our lives. For many Native communities, fears of cancer risk from environmental sources beyond their control are common. Some researchers, usually unaware of Native community concerns, can harbor the perspective that Native communities could be fruitful populations for studying the genetic risks of cancer. This webinar will help both sides of this chasm understand the other's point of view, hopefully leading to more effective communications and priority setting.
