On November 10th, 2022 CCH faculty Marquita Lewis-Thames, PhD presented Advancing Rural Cancer Health through an Examination of Individual and Community-level Determinants. In this presentation Dr. Lewis-Thames identifies individual and community-level determinants that impact access to care for rural residents and explores the implications of these determinants on health outcomes. She also explains how community-engaged research is ideal for conducting rural health research and understanding disparities that affect rural populations. Through this presentation, she exposes the importance of continued clinical, political, and research emphasis on rural health.

This webinar is part of the Translational Applications in Public Health mini-series, which is a collaboration between the Institute for Public Health and Medicine (IPHAM) and the Northwestern University Clinical and Translational Sciences (NUCATS) Institute.
