On Thursday, November 16, 2017, CADCA\u2019s Geographic Health Equity Alliance (GHEA) posted a blog entitled Cuidado rural en los Estados Unidos<\/em><\/a>.\u00a0 Written by one of GHEA\u2019s key partners, Chandylen Nightingale, Ph.D. \u2013 an Assistant Professor at Wake Forest School of Medicine who conducts behavioral research in cancer survivorship \u2013 the blog provided an account of the nearly 40 million people providing informal (unpaid) care for adult family members or friends in the United States.\u00a0 Individuals providing informal care are considered caregivers.\u00a0\u00a0 This blog serves as a follow-up to Nightingale\u2019s write-up.<\/p>\n

GHEA focuses its partnership development goals and provision of training and technical assistance on tobacco and cancer related public health phenomena, including cancer survivorship.\u00a0 Defined by the National Cancer Institute<\/a>, cancer survivorship focuses on the health and life of a person with cancer post treatment until the end of life.\u00a0 It covers the physical, psychosocial, and economic issues of cancer, beyond the diagnosis and treatment phases.\u00a0 Caregivers are considered part of the cancer survivorship experience.\u00a0<\/p>\n

En Cuidado rural en los Estados Unidos<\/em>, Nightingale discussed the role of a typical caregiver.\u00a0 Such an individual is often tasked with providing emotional support to the care-recipient \u2013 such as a cancer survivor \u2013 navigating the complex healthcare system, and providing hands-on medical care, often with little or no training.\u00a0 Caregivers consider multi-level factors in providing support to relatives and friends, oftentimes influencing the care recipients\u2019 health behaviors and outcomes.\u00a0 In the case of cancer survivors, GHEA has an available resource that may be useful to caregivers and their extensive network.<\/p>\n

Caregivers residing in or supporting loved ones living in rural areas face greater difficulty in providing the best possible care.\u00a0 Rural disparities in cancer survivorship are observed for many different reasons, such as access to cancer related knowledge and difficulty understanding cancer-related information.\u00a0 Evidence based practices and promising strategies are available to help address such gaps \u2013 with caregivers being well positioned to execute such interventions.\u00a0 Entitled Addressing Rural Cancer Health Disparities \u2013 A Geographic Health Equity Alliance Rural Cancer Disparities Publication<\/a><\/strong>, GHEA provides a geographic health equity model that can be applied to better identify contributors to rural health disparities in cancer and tobacco use, as well as ideas on how to implement the most appropriate place-based promising practices.<\/p>\n

The publication is based on a model describing and categorizing multi-level factors influencing health behaviors and outcomes.\u00a0 Cancer survivors, as well as their caregivers can use this model to both understand how health in their community is being influenced and determine which factors may be the best targets for improving the provision of care.\u00a0 GHEA has identified five inter-connected \u201clevels\u201d of influence on geographically based disparities in the cancer continuum \u2013 which includes cancer survivorship.\u00a0 Starting with the most fundamental, these five levels include biology, individual characteristics, social context, physical context and ends with the political and economic environment.\u00a0 Importantly, factors at one level are often closely linked with other levels.\u00a0 To learn more about the publication and how it can be used to support caregivers and cancer survivors\u00a0 haga clic aqu\u00ed<\/a> to download the full version.\u00a0 If you prefer hard copies of the publication, contact Relja Ugrinic at rugrinic@cadca.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n

As Director of CADCA\u2019s Geographic Health Equity Alliance (GHEA) \u2013 a national network \u2013 Keith A. Vensey, MBA, MPH oversees the operations and management of GHEA\u2019s focus on advancing tobacco control and cancer prevention in populations experiencing geographically based health disparities. In providing training and technical assistance to CADCA affiliated coalitions, state tobacco and cancer programs, national organizations, community-based organizations and other pertinent partners, Vensey and his team drive enhancements in the quality and performance of specific public health programs, public health data and information systems as well as public health practices and services. Particularly, Vensey\u2019s work aims to 1) enhance public health competencies and skills to educate and communicate support for evidence-based tobacco use and cancer prevention environmental approaches, 2) convene public health partners and promote implementation of health system interventions among other objectives and 3) build support for public health services and practice strategies to improve relationships between the communities at large and the public health and healthcare professionals who serve them.<\/em><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
