“…This result may reflect the NIH's openness to support CBPR-focused research [16][17][18]. As often is the case for scientific innovation and social change, intra-institutional and other sources of funding may be lagging the commitment of the NIH to support CBPR [19,20]. Interestingly, we also found that trainees who reported higher levels of satisfaction with work/life balance and their current position were less likely to report NIH or any grant funding, respectively.…”

“…While this seems relatively low, it is important to note that more than 60% of all trainees reported being Postdocs or Assistant Professors at the time of study, but their publication estimates were based on the previous 5 years. Because many of them may have been in graduate or postdoctoral programs and the normal lag observed in productivity in publishing research findings could be even longer for early stage CBPR-dedicated researchers [17,20], these realities should be considered. Nevertheless, this finding highlights that trainees could benefit greatly from more focused mentoring on how to enhance their publication records overall.…”

The study aims to explore variation in scholarly productivity outcomes by underrepresented status among a diverse sample of researchers in a community-engaged training program. We identified 141 trainees from a web-based survey of researchers in the National Cancer Institute-funded, Community Networks Program Centers (CNPCs) (2011-2016). We conducted a series of multiple logistic regression models to estimate the effect of National Institutes of Health (NIH)-defined underrepresented status on four, self-reported, scholarly productivity outcomes in the previous 5 years: number of publications (first-authored and total) and funded grants (NIH and any agency). Sixty-five percent (n = 92) indicated NIH underrepresented status. In final adjusted models, non-NIH underrepresented (vs. underrepresented) trainees reported an increased odds of having more than the median number of total publications (> 9) (OR = 3.14, 95% CI 1.21-8.65) and any grant funding (OR = 5.10, 95% CI 1.77-14.65). Reporting ≥ 1 mentors (vs. none) was also positively associated (p < 0.05) with these outcomes. The CNPC underrepresented trainees had similar success in first-authored publications and NIH funding as non-underrepresented trainees, but not total publications and grants. Examining trainees' mentoring experiences over time in relation to scholarly productivity outcomes is needed.

“…One approach underscored in the literature is the use of community‐based participatory research approaches that emphasize local relevance, open communication, community social networks, interdisciplinary approaches, and community‐academic partnerships . As a social justice orientation to science, community‐based participatory research builds engagement, transparency, leadership, and systems capacity, and leverages collective community talent to produce community‐beneficial interventions .…”

Overcoming Disparities in Cancer: A Need for Meaningful Reform for Hispanic and Latino Cancer Survivors

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Hispanic and Latino (HL) cancer survivors are at a critical disadvantage compared to non-Hispanic White (NHWs) patients regarding sociodemographic adversities and access to equitable treatment options. By 2030, there will be about four million HL cancer survivors in the US, representing nearly 20% of survivors in this country. Hispanics and Latinos are subjected to significant challenges in accessing and receiving equitable care relative to NHWs. Hispanics and Latinos also experience lower rates of health insurance and financial resources, limiting healthcare options. These disparities often originate from disparate social determinants of health including lower funding for education and school programs, greater neighborhood stressors and violence, lower access to healthy and affordable food, and greater barriers to community health/ exercise opportunities. Even among HLs with proper access to healthcare, they experience disparate treatment options including low inclusion in clinical trials and/or access to experimental therapies. A solution to these barriers necessitates complex and systemic changes that involve, for example, investing in public health programs, increasing the diversity and cultural awareness of the medical workforce, and promoting research opportunities such as clinical trials that are inclusive of HLs. Only through meaningful reform will equitable cancer care be available for all in the US regardless of racial and/or ethnic background. This manuscript reviews some of the critical social determinants of health and biases relevant to HL cancer survivors and provides recommendations for achieving cancer health equity. The Oncologist 2021;9999:• • Implications for Practice: Hispanics and Latinos experience a significant and often disproportionate cancer-related burden compared to non-Hispanic and Latino Whites and other racial/ethnic groups. Meaningful reform to achieve health equity in oncology should focus on approaches to gaining trust among diverse patients, cultural and community sensitivity and engagement in oncology care and research, diversifying the workforce, and improving inclusion in clinical trial participation. Taken together, these recommendations can lead to exemplary and equitable care for all patients.
