Summary
Promoting health equity in cancer control involves addressing social determinants of health. Initiatives by the National Comprehensive Cancer Control Program (NCCCP) and National Behavior Health Network (NBHN) improve cancer support services for diverse populations.
Area of Science:
- Public Health
- Health Equity
- Cancer Control
Background:
- Achieving health equity necessitates addressing social determinants of health.
- Health equity in cancer control is a key priority for the National Comprehensive Cancer Control Program (NCCCP).
- Disparities in health outcomes persist, particularly for individuals with mental health and/or substance use disorders.
Purpose of the Study:
- To describe recent activities implemented by NCCCP awardees and the National Behavior Health Network (NBHN) to promote cancer health equity.
- To highlight strategies for reducing cancer-related disparities.
- To identify opportunities for public health practitioners to enhance engagement in cancer health equity initiatives.
Main Methods:
- Implementation of tribal surveys by North-west Portland Area Indian Health Board to understand cancer risk factors and inform interventions.
- Establishment of a health equity workgroup in Kansas to guide activity implementation.
- Development of health equity trainings and learning labs by Michigan.
- Facilitation of a Community of Practice by NBHN to improve access to cancer support services.
Main Results:
- Tribal surveys provided baseline data and identified needs for targeted interventions.
- Kansas's workgroup aims for broad implementation of health equity activities.
- Michigan's initiatives focused on education and skill-building in health equity and social justice.
- NBHN's efforts increased access to tobacco cessation and cancer support for individuals with mental health and/or substance use disorders.
Conclusions:
- Collaborative efforts across NCCCP awardees and NBHN demonstrate progress in advancing cancer health equity.
- Addressing social determinants of health and specific population needs is crucial for reducing disparities.
- These initiatives offer valuable models for public health practitioners to foster engagement and implement effective cancer health equity strategies.

300
Equity theory explains how our sense of fairness influences the dynamics of close relationships. Rooted in social psychology, the theory posits that individuals evaluate fairness by comparing the ratio of their contributions to the rewards they receive. Relationship satisfaction is highest when these ratios are perceived as balanced between partners, promoting mutual reciprocity and a sense of justice.Equity vs. Equality in RelationshipsEquity is distinct from equality.

Nursing organizations assume a significant role in consistently developing the nursing profession through education, research studies, establishing practice standards, and reforming health policies. Typically, nursing organizations operate at the regional, national, and international levels. For example, the International Council of Nurses (ICN) represents more than 28 million nurses worldwide. In contrast, the American Nurses Association (ANA) is a membership organization representing nurses...

Functional groups are groups of atoms with specific chemical properties that occur within organic molecules and are sometimes denoted as “R”. Functional groups can “functionalize” a compound by enabling it to adopt different physical and chemical properties.

00:56Extraction: Advanced Methods
1.2K
Metal ions can be separated from one another by complexation with organic ligands–the chelating agent– to form uncharged chelates. Here, the chelating agent must contain hydrophobic groups and behave as a weak acid, losing a proton to bind with the metal. Since most organic ligands used in this process are insoluble or undergo oxidation in the aqueous phase, the chelating agent is initially added to the organic phase and extracted into the aqueous phase. The metal-ligand complex is...
