Evaluating Cancer Screening Events at North Carolina Community Health Centers

The goal of this study is to help CAPRICORN understand the needs of primary care clinics in North Carolina that provide free or low-cost healthcare. We will focus on how these clinics can offer cancer screening events to people in the community. To do this, we will create and use a survey to learn more about the needs of 3-4 clinics in North Carolina. Our findings will be shared in a report that includes suggestions for how CAPRICORN can grow over the next five years.

Healthcare disparities among Black patients with ovarian cancer in the United States

Ovarian cancer is the second most frequently diagnosed gynecologic cancer in the United States. Although it is the eleventh most common cancer among women, ovarian cancer is the fifth leading cause of cancer-related death. Fortunately, survival rates for ovarian cancer patients have been improving over the past few decades due to advances in medical procedures and the availability of new cancer drugs. However, studies have shown that the improvement of clinical outcomes are unequal among patients of different racial and ethnic backgrounds. This study seeks to understand the factors associated with healthcare disparities in Black ovarian cancer patients and identify features of programs that have been successful in addressing these racial imbalances. The findings of this study will help the researcher develop future programs to address healthcare disparities in Black ovarian cancer patients.
