Reducing Cancer Disparities:
Lessons Learned from Miami’s Multicultural Environment
Overview

In recognition of Minority Health Month, this webinar will highlight efforts to reduce the burden of cancer among Miami-Dade County’s diverse communities.

The South Florida Center for Reducing Cancer Disparities and the Jay Weiss Institute for Health Equity at the University of Miami Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center are addressing disparities in cervical and colorectal screening through two funded studies that use Community Health Workers in Hispanic and Haitian communities. The studies utilize Community-Based Participatory Research methodologies that engage community members in planning, implementation and dissemination of study findings. Participants will learn about evidence-based initiatives to reduce cancer disparities, utilization of community health workers, screening methods, and the benefits of community-based participatory research methods.
