This three-day conference offers a number of interactive activities including pre-conference skill-building workshops, plenary and breakout sessions, breakfast roundtables and a poster session. The conference curriculum features community-based participatory research (CBPR) approaches and qualitative methods to inform the development of cancer education media/materials and intervention design.
Conference participants include healthcare professionals, community health workers, advocates and survivors involved in developing cancer communications, innovative materials/media, educational programs and interventions that are tailored to cultural, linguistic and literacy needs of community members, Patients and cancer survivors. A variety of professional accreditation and continuing education contact hours will be offered.
