BPHC s cancer work plan framework Looking at each cancer type: 1. Data/program review: Identify priority population: Who in Boston disproportionally affected. Are there evidenced-based program recommendations and/or MA statewide goals for this cancer? 2. Gap analysis: What s already happening in Boston through our partners to reach priority population? Where are the gaps that Public Health (BPHC) can play a role to fill? 3. Set goals & develop program: Engage public and provider communities in the development of educational messaging, strategies, and advocacy components 4. Advised by new BPHC Cancer Advisory Group (CAG): Provides oversight, community engagement, provider engagement and oncology specialty expertise. CAG s 1 st meeting will be on Sept 21 st ; 25-30 members including type-specific oncology specialists
Getting started: Prostate cancer snapshot Priority population: High-risk men (African American men and men with a family history) Family and community members that support men in their health and quality of life BPHC role: Develop and support public messaging on prostate health, awareness of risk factors, screening recommendations, importance of shared decision making with providers Support provider education through increasing awareness of prostate cancer early detection recommendations Participate on Mass DPH Comp Cancer Prevention and Control Network's Prostate Cancer work group. BPHC s work plan will align with MA statewide goals Current work: Spring/summer 2018: Focus groups with at-risk men and caregivers to develop public messaging Fall 2018: CAG meets to advise on plan. Engage with providers to develop provider messaging. Develop public messages/materials & outreach plan
Breast Cancer snapshot Priority population Non-white women, especially black women, experiencing the highest inequities in breast cancer outcomes BPHC role Partner with organization & coalition already leading breast cancer work: Boston Breast Cancer Equity Coalition (BBCEC) on implementation of NIH-funded TRIP project (BMC, BWH, BIDMC, DFCI, MGH, Tufts) Leverage BPHC s expertise in community engagement to support BBCEC work. Merge BPHC s Pink and Black Education and Support Network into BBCEC Current work Co-lead BBCEC s community engagement work Close out Pink & Black work plan and promote survivorship video Continue working closely with partners on projects with joint goals
Future focus Plan to use framework to look at colorectal, lung and liver cancers in more depth Prioritized Prostate and Breast because of BPHC staff expertise and existing partnership opportunities. CAG will support prioritizing future work areas
