In New Hampshire and Vermont from 2011-2015, cancer incidence and mortality rates exceeded the national average. In response, the Dartmouth-Hitchcock Norris Cotton Cancer Center conducted a survey-based population health needs assessment to identify the cancer prevention and control needs of its catchment area in these two states. The findings from the assessment will be used to help target outreach, education and intervention activities related to cancer prevention and control across both states.
