Clinical‒Community Partnerships for Cancer Prevention Equity

Project Summary: This pilot study will explore the extent to which community health centers (CHCs) are using evidence-based interventions (EBIs) for cancer prevention, specifically related to nutrition, physical activity, and tobacco use, and will identify actionable factors within the implementation context that enable adoption and implementation of EBIs among CHC‒community partnerships. The study team will then develop a collaborative approach to support adoption of cancer prevention EBIs by CHC‒community partnerships, using rapid-cycle testing.
