“…Thus, there is a critical need to develop and examine weight management and PA interventions among cancer survivors of racial/ethnic minority status to enhance outcomes and reduce disparities. Consideration of patients' environmental, cultural, and survivorship context is critical to the success of these efforts . Racial and ethnic minority survivors are more likely to live in areas characterized by high segregation, traffic density, and crime and by low neighborhood socioeconomic status and access to full‐service supermarkets and PA resources .…”

Mounting evidence suggests that weight management and physical activity (PA) improve overall health and well being, and reduce the risk of morbidity and mortality among cancer survivors. Although many opportunities exist to include weight management and PA in routine cancer care, several barriers remain. This review summarizes key topics addressed in a recent National Academies of Science, Engineering, and Medicine workshop entitled, "Incorporating Weight Management and Physical Activity Throughout the Cancer Care Continuum." Discussions related to body weight and PA among cancer survivors included: 1) current knowledge and gaps related to health outcomes; 2) effective intervention approaches; 3) addressing the needs of diverse populations of cancer survivors; 4) opportunities and challenges of workforce, care coordination, and technologies for program implementation; 5) models of care; and 6) program coverage. While more discoveries are still needed for the provision of optimal weight-management and PA programs for cancer survivors, obesity and inactivity currently jeopardize their overall health and quality of life. Actionable future directions are presented for research; practice and policy changes required to assure the availability of effective, affordable, and feasible weight management; and PA services for all cancer survivors as a part of their routine cancer care.

“…39 The Centers for Population Health and Health Disparities program included implementation research as a requisite skill for researchers in cardiovascular disease and cancer in order to address the complexity of observed disparites. 37 Within public health genomics, the Genomics and Public Health Action Collaborative has identified objectives and metrics for HBOC and LS that include an IS framework and implementation outcome measures. 40 Moreover, systematic reviews of the literature 41 and an National Institutes of Health research portfolio 41 have demonstrated an ongoing need to incorporate implementation science into genomic medicine research.…”

The integration of genomic data into screening, prevention, diagnosis, and treatment for clinical and public health practices has been slow and challenging. Implementation science can be applied in tackling the barriers and challenges as well as exploring opportunities and best practices for integrating genomic data into routine clinical and public health practice. In this article, we define the state of disparities in genomic medicine and focus predominantly on late-stage research findings. We use case studies from genetic testing for cardiovascular diseases (familial hypercholesterolemia) and cancer (Lynch syndrome and hereditary breast and ovarian cancer syndrome) in high-risk populations to consider current disparities and related barriers in turning genomic advances into population health impact to advance health equity. Finally, we address how implementation science can address these translational barriers and we discuss the strategic importance of collaborative multi-stakeholder approaches that engage public health agencies, professional societies, academic health and research centers, community clinics, and patients and their families to work collectively to improve population health and reduce or eliminate health inequities.Ethn Dis. 2019;29(Suppl 1):187-192; doi:10.18865/ed.29.S1.187.

“…Despite increasing interest and efforts to improve health outcomes among Latinos, the imbalance between the proportion of Latinos in the public health workforce and their representation in the general U.S. population is a persistent challenge (Rodriguez et al, 2014). The lack of public health training in transdisciplinary and multilevel approaches is halting progress in reducing health disparities (Golden et al, 2015; Rodriguez et al, 2014). …”

Reducing health disparities is a national public health priority. Latinos represent the largest racial/ethnic minority group in the United States and suffer disproportionately from poor health outcomes, including cardiovascular disease risk. Academic training programs are an opportunity for reducing health disparities, in part by increasing the diversity of the public health workforce and by incorporating training designed to develop a skill set to address health disparities. This article describes the Training and Career Development Program at the UCLA Center for Population Health and Health Disparities: a multilevel, transdisciplinary training program that uses a community-engaged approach to reduce cardiovascular disease risk in two urban Mexican American communities. Results suggest that this program is effective in enhancing the skill sets of traditionally underrepresented students to become health disparities researchers and practitioners.
