COMMUNITY OUTREACH AND ENGAGEMENT PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT Community outreach and engagement have long been integral to Yale Cancer Center (YCC)’s research, education, and clinical care missions. In response to a systematic review of cancer trends and challenges across the state, and to broaden and increase our impact, YCC has made organizational changes to ensure greater alignment with catchment area and local community needs. While continuing to address those cancer challenges that impact the general catchment population, we determined that a priority is to address existing and emerging cancer disparities within our catchment area—the state of Connecticut (CT). Building on the growing cadre of YCC members and body of work addressing disparities and the needs of our community, YCC formally launched the Diversity and Health Equity (D&HE) team. In conjunction with the launch, a strategic plan was developed that centered on the importance of building the necessary infrastructure to support outreach, research, and clinical care across the cancer control continuum, informed by our vision and mission statements. Community outreach and engagement is the vehicle for addressing the cancer challenges throughout YCC’s catchment, while ensuring that all members of the catchment population benefit from the cutting-edge science and excellent clinical care associated with an NCI Comprehensive Cancer Center. Total cancer incidence rates (2010–2014) in YCC’s catchment are well above the national average. As expected, breast, prostate, lung, and colorectal are the most commonly occurring cancers, with incidence rates significantly higher than the national average for both breast and prostate, as well as selected other cancers. Nonetheless, with the exception of breast cancer, both cancer incidence and mortality rates over this time period have declined—reflecting our progress in our area. Still, several cancers are on the rise: bladder, uterus, breast, oral cavity and pharynx, thyroid, and liver, particularly in our growing Hispanic/Latino population. Over recent years, we have substantially increased research in response to cancers that are driving trends, including research efforts that address disparities, as well as cancers that differentially impact underserved groups. During the current funding period, we have successfully secured two P30 supplements to support our efforts to address cancer disparities and bolster community outreach. To advance these efforts, we have: 1) formalized mechanisms for community engagement; 2) established an active program of community outreach and education; 3) developed a streamlined cancer screening and prevention program; 4) initiated a program to increase minority participation in clinical trials; and 5) worked toward increasing diversity in our research programs. In sum, we are well positioned to expand our cutting-edge research addressing the biology, prevention, detection, treatment, and survivorship of cancers that impact the population at large, as well as in special populations and in our neighborhood catchment area.

社区宣传和参与 项目摘要/摘要 长期以来，社区宣传和参与一直是耶鲁癌症中心（YCC）的研究， 教育和临床护理任务。回应对癌症趋势和挑战的系统评价 在整个州，为了扩大和增强我们的影响，YCC已进行了组织的改变，以确保 与集水区和当地社区的需求更加一致。在继续解决这些癌症的同时 影响一般流域人口的挑战，我们确定优先事项是解决现有 以及我们的集水区域内的癌症差异 - 康涅狄格州（CT）。建立在 YCC成员和工作团体的成长是满足分销和社区需求的工作， YCC正式建立了多样性和健康平等（D＆H）团队。与发布会结合 制定了战略计划，该计划的重点是建立必要的基础设施 支持整个癌症控制连续性的外展，研究和临床护理，这是我们的愿景和 任务陈述。社区外展和参与是应对癌症挑战的工具 通过YCC的集水区，同时确保所有集水集人口的所有成员都受益于 尖端科学和与NCI综合癌症中心相关的优秀临床护理。 YCC集水区的总癌症发病率（2010-2014）远高于全国平均水平。作为 预期的，乳房，前列腺，肺和彩色是最常见的癌症，有事件发生率 乳房和前列腺以及其他癌症的乳房和前列腺的平均水平明显高于全国平均水平。 尽管如此，除了乳腺癌外，这段时间的癌症发病率和死亡率均 时期下降了 - 反映了我们在我们地区的进步。尽管如此，几种癌症仍在上升：膀胱， 子宫，乳房，口腔和咽，甲状腺和肝脏，尤其是在我们不断增长的西班牙裔/拉丁裔人口中。 近年来，我们已经大大增加了研究，以响应驱动趋势的癌症， 包括解决分布的研究工作，以及对服务不足的影响不同的癌症 组。在当前的资金期间，我们已成功获得了两种P30补充剂，以支持我们的 努力解决癌症分布和佛罗里达州社区外展。为了促进这些努力，我们有：1） 社区参与的形式化机制； 2）建立了一个积极的社区外展计划 和教育； 3）制定了简化的癌症筛查和预防计划； 4）启动一个程序 增加少数人参与临床试验； 5）致力于增加我们的研究多样性 程序。总而言之，我们在扩展有关生物学的尖端研究方面处于良好状态， 影响总体以及在 特殊人群和我们附近的集水区。
