What is Cancer?
Cancer is defined as a group of diseases that are characterized by the uncontrolled growth and spread of abnormal cells within the body.
Cancer Facts and Figures
• 1,660,290 new cancer cases will be diagnosed in 2014
• Cancer is the 2nd leading cause of death
• Cost for cancer care is $201.5 billion dollars
• Relative survival has increased to about 68%
Cancer Death Rates* by Race and Ethnicity, US, 2005-2009
Cancer Death Rates* by Sex and Race, US, 1975-2009
Health Disparities
Differences in the quality of health care that are not due to access-related factors or clinical needs, preferences and appropriateness of intervention
Differences in the incidence, prevalence, mortality, and burden of cancer that exist among specific population groups in the US
Disparities are often characterized by race and ethnicity.
Social Determinants of Health and Racial Disparities
SmartState Center for Cancer Equity
• Enhance minority participation in clinical research on health promotion and disease prevention and control.
• Increase access to and utilization of emerging technologies for health promotion and prevention and control.
• Develop culturally tailored assessments and interventions to improve health outcomes.
• Develop sustainable infrastructure for health promotion and disease prevention and control in clinic and community settings.

OBESITY AMONG ADULTS
Risk R
educti
on
(Physic
al Acti
vity)
• Engage in moderate intensity physical activity at least 30 minutes on five or more days of the week (walking, stretching)
• Participate in more intense physical activity for at least 20 minutes on three or more days of the week (jogging, swimming)
Regular physical activity Decreases risk for:
• CVD• Stroke• Colon cancer• Diabetes• High blood pressure• Obesity• Breast Cancer
• No time• Too tired • Can’t afford it• Afraid friends and family will laugh • Don’t have the will power • Afraid of getting hurt • Too many family obligations • Too old
Barriers to PHYSICAL ACTIVITY
• Find times of day that you can use for PA.
• Start a walking program with friends and family
• Exercise in 10-minute bouts
• Choose activities that fit your age, fitness level, skill level, and health status.
WAYS TO OVERCOME PHYSICAL ACTIVITY BARRIERS
Risk R
educti
on
(Diet
and Nutri
tion)
• Eat at least 5 servings of fruits and vegetables each day.
• Reduce sodium intake
• Reduce fat intake
• Affordability• Access• Ability• Knowledge• Resources
Barriers to EATING HEALTHY
• Make a daily meal plan• Use your meal plan to direct your
grocery shopping. • Use MyPlate to inform your meal plan.• Control your portions

COMPARATIVE EFFECTIVENSS TRIAL
• Session 1: Risk Factors– Disease facts and figures for African Americans
• Session 2: Dietary Behaviors– Recommendations for fruit and vegetable intake– Menu planning– Food diary– Label reading
• Session 3: Physical Activity– Recommendations for physical activity– Starting a walking program– Making active choices– Exercising in short bouts
• Session 4: Putting it Together– Anticipated barriers and facilitators to behavior change– Problem solving training
Triumphant Living CollaborativeRandomized Trial for Cancer Control
COMPONENTES OF INTEGRATED RISK EDUCATION
Construct Strategy
Perceived Risk
Perceived Severity
Self-efficacy
Cue to Action
Information about cancer and cardiovascular disease
Identify overlapping risk factors for disease
Values clarification from motivational interviewing & provide information about behavioral change
Participants develop individualized action plan
INTERVENTION COMPONENTS• Delivered in a group setting by a health educator
• Incorporated multiple modes of presenting information (e.g., video, slide presentation, written materials)
• About 2-3 hours in length
• Developed intervention to be a brief, but intensive program that could be disseminated to other settings

Opportunities in South Carolina• Dissemination research to evaluate the effects of
integrated and disease specific risk education
• Implementation of interventions into clinical and community settings across the state
• Translational research to understand interactions between biological factors, psychological characteristics, and the environment
• Policy development and research to address macro-level factors
