Description
Although cancer survival has improved over the years due to early detection and improved treatment options, socioeconomic and racial disparities persist in cancer screening, advanced disease, and cancer mortality. Cancer registry data can be used to identify high-risk groups and high-risk geographic areas for targeted interventions. We have used state Cancer Registry data to examine local trends by race/ethnicity and to identify neighborhoods with a high burden of prostate cancer, specifically. We utilized a mixed-methods approach involving quantitative analyses of state cancer registry data and focus groups to help us to develop and test a prostate cancer educational intervention designed to increase knowledge and intent to discuss screening with a physician. Similar strategies can help us to understand cancer in the community and to develop appropriate targeted interventions.
