“Pathways to Health Equity: Expanding Community-Clinical Linkages to Improve Health Outcomes Among Low-Income Populations Nationwide” Part 5:
LIVE Session Wednesday, May 1, 2024 at 1:00 PM Eastern
According to the Institute of Medicine’s (IOM) now the National Academy of Medicine) landmark report, From Cancer Patient to Cancer Survivor: Lost in Translation, opportunities to intervene to improve care" and ultimately cancer health outcomes along the cancer control continuum as defined by the National Cancer Institute (NCI). The IOM outlined 4 domains for the delivery of survivorship care including: surveillance, monitoring for late effects, preventive services and psychosocial health. As a result, strengthening community-clinical linkages that also entail addressing social determinants of the health (SDoH) is important before, during and following a cancer diagnosis through the survivorship and cancer recurrence phases (if applicable)

LIVE Session Wednesday, April 10, 2024 at 1:00 PM Eastern
Community–clinical linkages require systems changes at multiple levels within the socioecological model. Enhancing and expanding community-clinical linkages to improve health outcomes entails a closer examination of social determinants of health (SDOH) including food insecurity, transportation, literacy, health literacy and digital literacy. Social determinants of health operate at multiple levels, thereby shape a range of health outcomes (short-term and long-term).
Enhancing Community-Clinical Linkages to Expand Lung Cancer Screening Nationwide
LIVE Session Tuesday, September 26, 2023 at 1:00 PM EasternPatient-level barriers include unfamiliarity with cancer screening eligibility criteria, benefits, and risks; as well as barriers such as fear of cancer diagnosis and perceived stigma; uncertainty of screening-related costs; and challenges in accessing imaging sites. Identifying factors that affect patient adherence to Lung-RADS recommendations can help clinicians better understand who would benefit significantly from outreach strategies to improve adherence.
LIVE Session Wednesday, June 7, 2023 at 12:30 PM Eastern
Cancer disparities along the cancer control continuum are attributed to multiple factors including variation in approaches implemented to address persistent barriers or challenges experienced by populations with low socioeconomic status (SES) characteristics. Noted in the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO)

LIVE Session Wednesday, November 2, 2022 at 12:30 PM Eastern
As noted in a recent Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) article, an important question asked, "Is lung cancer screening reaching individuals who can gain the most from it?" And the most recent report revealed that inadequate access to healthcare services due to geographic, financial, or logistical challenges continues to remain a commonly cited barrier to cancer screening experienced by populations with low socioeconomic status (SES) characteristics. This includes low-income populations, populations without a usual source of healthcare services, uninsured, underinsured, and populations residing in rural or remote areas (including medically underserved areas), as well as members of some racial/ethnic minority populations are those who experience significant disparities in cancer screening and follow-up care.

LIVE Session Wednesday, July 20, 2022 at 12:30 PM Eastern
The Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) article "Colorectal Cancer Screening and Prevention in the COVID-19 Era" noted that cancer screening delays will widen persistent socioeconomic mortality disparities as rising unemployment in disadvantaged populations stifles already limited access to care. And the implementation of creative solutions is needed to survive and thrive following the COVID-19 pandemic. And as referenced in the 2022 President's Cancer Panel report "Closing Gaps in Cancer Screening: Connecting People, Communities, and Systems to Improve Equity and Access" critical factors such as barriers to screening-which vary among individuals, communities, and healthcare settings must be addressed to ensure that the benefits reach all populations. Gaps in cancer screening and receipt of follow-up care are even more pronounced in some sociodemographic populations including people who do not have a usual source of healthcare or adequate health insurance (underinsured), possess low education or income, live in rural or remote areas, and/or members of some racial or ethnic minority populations.
LIVE Session Wednesday, July 13, 2022 at 12:30 PM Eastern
The Cancer Prevention Research article "Disparities in Cancer Prevention in the COVID-19 Era" revealed that prolonged delays in cancer screening will result in increased cancer rates among the overall population from pre- COVID-19 trajectories and elevate cancer disparities in medically underserved populations. Access and utilization of routine medical services are core to sustaining a healthier society. The 2022 President's Cancer Panel report "Closing Gaps in Cancer Screening: Connecting People, Communities, and Systems to Improve Equity and Access" stated that physicians and other healthcare providers play an essential role in patients' decisions about whether and when to be screened for cancer. Moreover, team-based care has the potential to improve the implementation of cancer screening. More effective and equitable implementation of cancer screening can save lives and reduce the burden of cancer.
LIVE Session Wednesday, June 14th, 2022 at 12:30 PM Eastern
As stated in the "The Impact of COVID-19 on Cancer Screening: Challenges and Opportunities" article, both cancer prevention and screening remain integral to individual and public health. And these disruptions attributable to the COVID-19 pandemic; have interrupted "major infrastructures along the cancer control continuum including canceled cancer screening services. In addition, the 2022 President’s Cancer Panel report "Closing Gaps in Cancer Screening: Connecting People, Communities, and Systems To Improve Equity and Access" acknowledged that cancer screening uptake has been incomplete and uneven. Furthermore, many people do not receive timely follow-up care after an abnormal cancer screening test result, which undermines the effectiveness of screening. Every day is an opportunity to "fundamentally change the trajectory of cancer" by “closing gaps” in cancer screening, early detection, treatment, and survivorship among all populations including low-income populations as well as populations residing in rural or metropolitan areas of lower socioeconomic or neighborhood deprivation within states.
LIVE Session Wednesday, May 18th, 2022 at 12:30 PM Eastern
The Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) Oncology article "Association of Cancer Screening Deficit in the United States With the COVID-19 Pandemic" revealed that cancer screening delays occurring during the COVID-19 pandemic will potentially lead to additional increases in mortality rates. The article also noted that these reductions in cancer screening rates vary by socioeconomic status (SES) and geographic region. Moreover, the 2022 President's Cancer Panel report "Closing Gaps in Cancer Screening: Connecting People, Communities, and Systems to Improve Equity and Access" indicated that gaps in cancer screening mean too many people in the United States are unnecessarily enduring aggressive treatment or dying from cancers that could have been prevented or detected earlier during easily treated stages.
LIVE Session Wednesday, November 3rd, 2021 at 12:00 PM Eastern
Exacerbated by low socioeconomic status (SES) factors, disparities or significant differences in COVID-19 morbidity and mortality rates exist upon comparison by gender. As a result of these health disparities, COVID-19 mortality rates are higher among male populations including those diagnosed with chronic diseases, related risk factors as well as male adults residing in areas with limited or minimal access to routine preventive services (including medically underserved areas).
LIVE Session Thursday, November 18th, 2021 at 12:00 PM Eastern
As noted in the recent American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) post from July 2021, "without purposeful intervention, COVID-19 pandemic related disruptions in preventive services may widen existing cancer disparities." With the notable release of the Healthy People 2030 national objectives, social determinants of health (SDoH) objectives combined with several cancer-related objectives that focus on evidence-based cancer screening, prevention, care and survivorship strategies create an opportunity for multi-level and multi-sectors to steadily improve health equity outcomes.
Men’s Health: The Intersection of Cancer Survivorship, Health Equity and Socioeconomic Factors
LIVE Session Thursday, June 24, 2021 at 01:00 PM EasternOverall, in the United States; the COVID-19 pandemic has led to a reduction in the utilization of some healthcare preventative services as well as cancer services. As referenced in the article Cancer Care During and After the Pandemic, the COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted populations along the “cancer continuum through interruption, delays, and altered modes of screening, diagnosis, and treatment as well as follow-up and palliative care. Cancer screening, early detection, and diagnosis pathways must be reinstated and prioritized according to people’s risk of both COVID-19 and cancer.”
Exploring Opportunities to Reduce Risks Along the Cancer Control Continuum
LIVE Session Tuesday, May 25, 2021 at 01:00 PM EasternHealthcare delivery, health disparities and implementation science are three of the “Crosscutting Areas” aligned with the cancer control continuum by the National Cancer Institute (NCI). As noted in our newly released 2021 SelfMade Health Network (SMHN) Leadership Council Joint Statement Document, we understand that the toll of the COVID-19 pandemic has fallen disproportionally on the nation’s most vulnerable populations. We acknowledge the importance of seeking solutions to minimize the collective human and economic toll of the COVID-19 pandemic on Americans diagnosed with chronic diseases nationwide including: breast, colorectal and lung cancers; especially among low-income populations. And as noted in the National Public Radio (NPR) Special Series: The Coronavirus Crisis news article, vulnerable communities are disproportionately harmed by the COVID-19 pandemic.
A national consensus exists that there is a vital need to address disparities across the entire cancer control continuum including cancer care. Factors commonly identified as having the greatest potential impact on cancer health equity and patient outcomes include: health system changes, healthcare access, coordination of care, patient navigation, community-clinical linkages, and community engagement. Both social and structural determinants contribute to disparities in cancer outcomes among medically underserved populations including rural and racial/ethnic minority populations. In addition, micro-level factors including health insurance status affect cancer outcomes across the cancer control continuum (including cancer survivorship). As Healthy People 2030 National Objectives continue to move to the forefront, ensuring a strategic focus on improving health equity to reduce late or advanced-stage cancers (including breast, colorectal and lung cancers) among populations with low socioeconomic status (SES) characteristics remains significant.
This webinar/webcast highlights a panel of experts and is designed to serve as a guide to advance cancer health equity among low-income populations. It features a summary of expert informed key findings and priority actions across and between the cancer continuum of care related to breast cancer, colorectal cancer and lung cancer impacting medically underserved populations. As a result, participants will learn more about how to apply an actionable framework across the cancer continuum to improve outcomes and enhance state strategic plans, cancer survivorship plans and health equity plans. In addition, examples of evidence-based interventions, promising practices, and resources will be introduced to assist clinicians, public health professionals and other disciplines with acquiring a greater understanding of how to apply health equity principles to strengthen health system interventions and health policy efforts.
LIVE Session Tuesday, May 12, 2020 at 02:00 PM Eastern
As the nation looks forward to formulating strategies in alignment with the upcoming Healthy People 2030 objectives, the need to deliver culturally relevant and effective tobacco cessation interventions to vulnerable populations remains critical. And concerted efforts comprised of community-clinical linkages to improve cancer survivorship by reducing tobacco use disparities associated with late-stage lung cancer and other tobacco-related cancers remains at the forefront.
In collaboration, with the national network: ASPIRE (Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander Network to Reach Equity in Tobacco Control and Cancer), this webinar is designed to highlight how tobacco cessation is utilized to address cancer survivorship from a culturally relevant perspective. Participants will learn about the how Asian Smokers Quitline services maximizes use of demographic data (e.g. low socioeconomic status characteristics) and the types of support provided to assist government programs, healthcare systems, coalitions as well as communities and health equity stakeholders with improving tobacco cessation outcomes. In addition, examples of lessons learned from incorporating tobacco cessation as part of community engagement efforts during the current Coronavirus pandemic will be shared. And finally, from a community perspective, examples of evidence-based interventions, and culturally tailored strategies will be featured to assist clinicians, public health professionals and other disciplines with strategic planning, implementation and partnership development strategies.
Session is available for On-Demand Viewing
According to the World Health Organization (WHO) intersectoral action to address social determinants of health (SDoH) continues to emerge as a key approach for improving health equity. Moreover, partnerships across the spectrum of health locally, regionally and nationally are needed to influence the social and economic landscape (including resource allocation) that enables the health and wellbeing of populations diagnosed with medical conditions such as: cancer among low-income populations.
This webinar is designed to serve as a roadmap for addressing social determinants of health to advance cancer health equity from an array of sectors (healthcare, academic, community-level). In an effort to support state strategic planning, participants will also learn more about how to apply a social determinants of health framework across the cancer control continuum to improve outcomes. And examples of evidence-based interventions (EBIs), best practices, and resources will be featured to assist clinicians, public health professionals and other disciplines with acquiring a greater understanding of how to apply patients' or clients' social determinant of health factors for use during the cancer care plan development process.
Session is available for On-Demand Viewing
Health disparities are commonly viewed through the lens of race and ethnicity, but they also occur across a broad range of dimensions. Cancer and tobacco-related disparities occur across multiple dimensions including socioeconomic status (SES), gender, geography, race/ethnicity, age and disability status. Such significant disparities continue to persist among subgroups or populations residing in a variety of environments.
The primary purpose of this webinar is to provide greater insight on community-based interventions. This webinar is also intended to illustrate how community-based interventions originating from different settings can be applied to assist organizations with addressing tobacco disparities (including tobacco-related cancer disparities) among low-income populations residing in rural and metropolitan communities.
Uniting Systems to Address Cancer and Tobacco-Related Disparities Part 2
Rural Health Spotlight: Kentucky Regional Resource Lead Organization
Session is available for On-Demand ViewingParticipants will learn from different county perspectives about how multi-sector engagement can be tailored to address cancer disparities (tobacco-related) and tobacco cessation affecting men’s health in “blue-collar” industries. Participants will also learn more about lessons learned one year following the adoption of the Kentucky Lung Cancer Worksite Resource Kit. Participants will learn how multi-sector engagement can help to shape worksite or employer priorities, policies (related to tobacco prevention and cessation) and services in ways that help counties “bridge the culture gaps” within ever-changing communities.
Session is available for On-Demand Viewing
Health disparities among adolescent populations are associated with significantly higher rates of tobacco use including smoking. These tobacco-related disparities emerge early during adolescence and continue to persist into adulthood. Moreover, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) populations use tobacco products at rates significantly higher compared to the general population. Youth who identify as LGBTQ continue to face disparities that stem from multiple factors such as: stress due to societal stigma, social isolation, lack of access to quality healthcare, and lack of continuity of care with healthcare providers. Some healthcare barriers not only allow for tobacco use to go undetected but may complicate access to timely cancer screenings and care.
The primary purpose of this webinar is to increase awareness, knowledge and skills to further assist physicians and mid-level practitioners nationwide with implementing practical strategies and tailored healthcare interventions to LGBTQ adolescent and adult patients (including those that use tobacco products).
"Opening Doors" Webinar Series
Session is available for On-Demand ViewingThe purpose of this webinar is to increase awareness, knowledge and understanding among physicians and mid-level healthcare practitioners about evidence-based strategies, and resources available to increase the delivery of tobacco cessation services within a rural healthcare clinic setting. Efforts to integrate interventions into the delivery of healthcare create an opportunity to increase rates of delivering tobacco dependence treatments, successful quit attempts and tobacco cessation, as well as referrals to the state tobacco quitline; even among low-income patients with multiple or complex chronic diseases.
Uniting Systems to Address Cancer and Tobacco-Related Disparities
Rural Health Spotlight: Kentucky Regional Resource Lead Organization
There are several multi-dimensional socioeconomic factors that impact the onset of advanced or “late stage” cancer diagnosis. Entrenched in the challenge to eliminate health disparities is the need to address cancer disparities (tobacco-related), especially among populations with low socioeconomic status (SES) characteristics (including blue-collar workers).
This webinar is designed to provide an overview of socioeconomic status (SES) factors from a rural health perspective and introduce the Kentucky Lung Cancer Worksite Resource Kit focused on “blue-collar” industries. Participants will learn more about how organizations can incorporate multi-faceted approaches to address cancer disparities (tobacco-related) and tobacco cessation affecting men’s health in “blue-collar” industries.
Addressing Cancer Disparities Among Vulnerable Populations Through Community Engagement
Session is available for On-Demand Viewing
Community engagement is one of several approaches undertaken to reduce cancer and tobacco-related disparities experienced among populations with low socioeconomic (SES) characteristics, including medically underserved populations as well as economically disadvantaged communities, throughout the nation.
This webinar is designed to provide an overview of the role of community engagement from diverse perspectives and settings and provide details on successful projects in place that focus on populations with low socioeconomic status characteristics. Participants will learn more about how organizations may define communities differently and identify some overlapping factors relative to geography-frontier, rural and metropolitan/urban communities.
Men's Health: Examining Community Engagement to Address Colorectal Cancer Disparities and Survivorship
Session is available for On-Demand Viewing
Colorectal cancer is the third leading cause of cancer-related death in men. Minority groups, as well as those living in low socioeconomic conditions or without insurance, experience higher colorectal cancer health disparities. Luckily, through community engagement and early screening promotion, we can begin to eliminate these incidence and mortality disparities. In this “Opening Doors” session, speaker Darrell M. Gray, II, MD, MPH will introduce promising practices to address these differences.
Exploring a New Frontier: Certified Tobacco Treatment Specialists

Webinar participants will learn more about what types of organizations and settings have successfully staffed certified Tobacco Treatment Specialists to assist different levels of smokers and other types of tobacco users. This presentation will also include examples of how various types of organizations are maximizing use of staff with Tobacco Treatment Specialist Certification as an added value towards achieving coordination of care efforts, maximizing reimbursement (where available) and improving patient health outcomes.
Embracing Asian Americans with Tobacco Cessation Support
Session is available for On-Demand Viewing
Did you know that Asian Americans who speak an Asian language are more likely to be smokers compared to native English speakers? In order to effectively combat these health disparities within Asian communities, cultural, social and contextual elements are needed to assist vulnerable populations with successful tobacco cessation techniques. This webinar will cover
- How the Asian Smoker's Quitline (ASQ) impacts tobacco users through health programs, nonprofit organizations, nurse navigators, health clinics and more.
- ASQ custom resources that will benefit your organization.
- Ways associations and organizations can partner with ASQ in order to reach underserved populations.
We will share how to strengthen clinical-community linkage and facilitate coordination for low socioeconomic populations. This session, part of the Uniting Cancer Survivorship and Tobacco Cessation Support to Reach More Vulnerable Populations event, is presented in partnership with the Asian Smokers' Quitline and APPEAL- Asian Pacific Partners for Empowerment, Advocacy & Leadership.
From Coverage To Care: Potential Opportunities to Impact Vulnerable Populations, Patients & Clients
Session is available for On-Demand Viewing
The national “From Coverage to Care” Initiative (also known as C2C Initiative) is intended to connect persons to primary care and the preventive services as they acquire healthcare coverage. The purpose of this webinar is to provide greater awareness and understanding of the “From Coverage to Care” Initiative (sponsored by Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services) among professionals whose interests include vulnerable, underserved and low-resourced populations.
Based on the information presented, this webinar will explore opportunities for strengthening clinical-community coordination among systems servicing and hiring populations with low socioeconomic status (SES) characteristics in rural, metropolitan and frontier regions.
“Closing the Gap” in Lung Cancer Disparities
Session is Available for On-Demand Viewing
The purpose of this webinar is to provide a greater understanding of Lung Cancer disparities among professionals in diverse organizations, health systems and community-oriented networks. It will also educate professionals on how differences in socioeconomic status (SES) factors and patient/client experiences can potentially contribute to healthcare or clinical outcomes (.e.g. delayed healthcare service utilization, late-state diagnosis, and survivorship).
Webinar participants will be introduced to proposed recommendations and strategies for improving health outcomes relative to vulnerable and underserved populations considered at “higher” risk for Lung Cancer morbidity and mortality.
Overview of Tobacco Use Surcharges
Session is Available for On-Demand Viewing
The purpose of this webinar is for participants to learn more about two topics: 1) tobacco use surcharges, and 2) cessation coverage in state marketplace plans.
