November Cancer Control TAP Newsletter

November 2023 | Vol 11 | Issue 2

As a training and technical assistance provider of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) National Comprehensive Cancer Control Program, the GW Cancer Center proudly shares this month’s Technical Assistance Periodical (TAP) to support your cancer control efforts.

Looking for evidence-based communications about human papillomavirus (HPV)? Visit the Cancer Control TAP website to see our new HPV Awareness Campaign! It offers best practices for communicating about HPV, tips for communicating with diverse audiences, and more! Check it out today!

The GW Cancer Center offers numerous resources for patient navigators, including Oncology Patient Navigator Training: The Fundamentals. This comprehensive, competency-based training uses evidence-based information and case studies to help effectively address barriers to care for cancer patients and survivors. Or watch our Financial Navigation webinar to learn about the impact of financial toxicity on patient wellness. You'll discover resources to meet patient financial challenges, as well as sample evaluation tools to show the value of financial navigation in practice. Share them with your partners today!

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has awarded nine national networks with grants through the National Networks Driving Action: Preventing Tobacco- and Cancer-Related Health Disparities by Building Equitable Communities grant mechanism. This consortium of national organizations will advance the prevention of commercial tobacco use and cancer in populations experiencing tobacco- and cancer-related health disparities. Congratulations to the awardees!
