How Community Engagement Drives Health Disparities Research in Cancer
How do you approach underserved communities for collaboration in your health research? With humility and flexibility, says Dr. Katherine Tossas, a cancer epidemiologist and Director of Catchment Area Data Access and Alignment at Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) Massey Cancer Center. As part of our People of Precision Health Podcast, Vibrent Health recently interviewed Dr. Tossas in her work engaging communities and catchment areas in cancer research as it relates to health disparities.
As a native Puerto Rican, she has used her experience to develop some incredibly useful perspectives and approaches in approaching underserved communities. Some of these included sharing resources with communities, not having preconceptions about communities, understanding the limitations of research data in telling the full story, and more.
