Session Topic: From Community, Through Discovery, For Community: Community Owned Research as a Method for Closing Cancer Screening Gaps

Hosted by Gracie Dinkins, MD and Dean Sherzai, MD, PhD from Charles R. Drew University of Medicine and Science

We'll introduce community-based participatory clinical research as a method for cancer health disparities work, then ground it in a live example from South Los Angeles: CREST (Cancer-free Research through Early Screening and Technology), an initiative built on community-owned research infrastructure and shared screening capacity through the IMPACT-DETECT program.
