What this research studies
You and your community would be reached through partnerships between NYU, CUNY, local clinics, and community groups to bring cancer prevention and screening services to neighborhoods with many low-income and immigrant residents. The program uses community input, detailed local data, and culturally adapted approaches to shape outreach, training, and clinical tools where people get care. Over five years the center will run two linked projects that use these networks to put screening, clinical decision support, and prevention strategies into practice in community and clinic settings. They will also provide technical assistance, training, and share effective practices so clinics and community groups can continue helping people after the project ends.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: People from low-income, minoritized, and immigrant communities in New York City—especially those served by partner clinics or community organizations and who are eligible for routine cancer screening—are the ideal candidates.
Not a fit: People who live outside New York City or who are not served by the project’s partner clinics or community organizations are unlikely to participate or see direct benefits.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this work could increase timely cancer screening and early detection and help reduce cancer disparities in underserved NYC populations.
How similar studies have performed: Culturally tailored, community-based cancer prevention programs have improved screening in some groups, but combining social-determinants approaches with clinical decision support across diverse urban immigrant populations is a newer, evolving approach.
