Abstract

Vaccination remains key to reducing the risk of COVID-19–related severe illness and death. Because of historic medical exclusion and barriers to access, Black communities have had lower rates of COVID-19 vaccination than White communities. We describe the efforts of an academic medical institution to implement community-based COVID-19 vaccine clinics in medically underserved neighborhoods in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Over a 13-month period (April 2021–April 2022), the initiative delivered 9038 vaccine doses to community members, a majority of whom (57%) identified as Black.

14. Collective pursuit for equity in cancer care: The National Navigation Roundtable.

Author

Dwyer, Andrea J., Wender, Richard C., Weltzien, Elsa S., Dean, Monica S., Sharpe, Katherine, Fleisher, Linda, Burhansstipanov, Linda, Johnson, Wenora, Martinez, Laura, Wiatrek, Dawn E., Calhoun, Elizabeth, Battaglia, Tracy A., and National Navigation Roundtable

Abstract

Background: The evidence continues to build in support of implementing patient navigation to reduce barriers and increase access to care. However, health disparities remain in cancer outcomes. The goal of the National Navigation Roundtable (NNRT) is to serve as a convener to help support the field of navigation to address equity.Methods: To examine the progress and opportunities for navigation, the NNRT submitted a collection of articles based on the results from 2 dedicated surveys and contributions from member organizations. The intent was to help inform what we know about patient navigation since the last dedicated examination in this journal 10 years ago.Results: The online survey of >700 people described navigators and examined sustainability and policy issues and the longevity, specific role and function, and impact of clinical and nonclinical navigators in addition to the role of training and supervision. In addition, a full examination of coronavirus disease 2019 and contributions from member organizations helped further define progress and future opportunities to meet the needs of patients through patient navigation.Conclusions: To achieve equity in cancer care will demand the sustained action of virtually every component of the cancer care system. It is the hope and intent of the NNRT that the information presented in this supplement will be a catalyst for action in this collective action approach. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

38. Barriers to effective skin cancer detection

Abstract

Background. In response to the dramatic rise in melanoma incidence, numerous health care specialists have encouraged primary care providers to increase skin cancer detection efforts. Although primary care providers currently find more melanomas than do dermatologists, many detection opportunities are missed. In addition, primary care providers occasionally incorrectly reassure patients about specific lesions. Nevertheless, there is little evidence that efforts to detect skin cancer are growing. This paper discusses barriers to skin cancer detection and potential ways to increase screening. Methods. Methods involve the review of the medical literature and the author's synthesis of this information. Results. The principle barriers to skin cancer detection are that it is a low priority in primary care, that the majority of exams do not result in significant findings, and that many providers lack expertise to adequately identify high risk lesions. Lack of reimbursement for preventive care, inadequate time for complete skin exams, and distraction by other health problems also play a role in limiting skin cancer detection efforts. Conclusions. Relying on primary care--based skin cancer detection as the only means to increase skin cancer identification is an unwise policy. Approaches that may be able to increase skin cancer prevention and detection include increased (1) collaboration between skin cancer specialists and experts in primary care, (2) focus on providers of pediatric care, (3) advocacy for reimbursement of preventive health care, (4) educational efforts for the public to request skin exams, and (5) education directed to providers in high risk areas.

39. Cancer screening and prevention in primary care: obstacles for physicians

Abstract

Background. Surveys have demonstrated that primary care physicians are aware of cancer screening and prevention guidelines. However, health primary care providers do not recommend these services for many patients. This introductory discussion describes a new area of clinical study: practice barriers. Methods. Literature review and the author's synthesis are used to identify major types of obstacles impeding broad implementation of cancer screening and prevention. Results. Practitioners and patients face three types of obstacles: provider-specific obstacles; patient-specific obstacles; and health care delivery system obstacles. Provider-specific obstacles include lack of time, distraction by other health issues, lack of expertise, lack of positive feedback, and disagreement with recommendations. Barriers that chiefly affect screening for the major cancer sites (breast, colon, and cervix) and obstacles affecting preventive counseling also are discussed. Several techniques to help providers overcome obstacles have proven successful in increasing preventive activities. Conclusions. Efforts to increase cancer screening and prevention must focus on helping providers identify and overcome barriers through acquisition of needed skills, refinement of office time management, implementation of effective reminder systems, and development of appropriate, innovative feedback and reward mechanisms.

Abstract

Although cancer mortality rates declined in the United States in recent decades, some populations experienced little benefit from advances in cancer prevention, early detection, treatment, and survivorship care. In fact, some cancer disparities between populations of low and high socioeconomic status widened during this period. Many potentially preventable cancer deaths continue to occur, and disadvantaged populations bear a disproportionate burden. Reducing the burden of cancer and eliminating cancer-related disparities will require more focused and coordinated action across multiple sectors and in partnership with communities. This article, part of the American Cancer Society's Cancer Control Blueprint series, introduces a framework for understanding and addressing social determinants to advance cancer health equity and presents actionable recommendations for practice, research, and policy. The article aims to accelerate progress toward eliminating disparities in cancer and achieving health equity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
