HLSC 300: Health Disparity Research Outline - Cancer Analysis

This assignment presents an outline for a research paper focusing on cancer health disparities, specifically within the context of an HLSC 300 course. The outline requires the student to identify a specific health disparity related to cancer, detailing mortality, morbidity, incidence, and prevalence rates. The research explores the affected population groups, referencing statistical data to support the findings. Furthermore, the assignment necessitates the identification of programs, community services, non-profit organizations, or government agencies (excluding the CDC or NIH) actively working to address and eliminate the identified health disparity. The student is required to provide a complete APA-formatted reference for at least one scholarly journal article used in their research. The assignment aims to foster an understanding of health disparities, their impact, and potential solutions, encouraging students to engage with research and data to support their analysis. The assignment focuses on cancer disparities, specifically. The student is expected to complete a worksheet.

Cancer is a group of diseases that consists of abnormal cell growth with
the potential to spread across the different parts of the body. In the
research, this has been found that there are particular groups who are
affected by the disease of cancer (Siegel, Miller, Fedewa, Ahnen,
Meester, Barzi & Jemal, 2017).
The paper includes cancer related diseases and with this mortality,
morbidity, incidences and prevalence rates are discussed.
Describe the specific
population affected.

In the research, this has been found that there are particular groups
who are affected by the disease of cancer (Siegel, Miller & Jemal,
2019).
In the study, this has been found that as of 2016, cancer death rate for
females and males get combined had fallen approx. 27% from its peak
in the year 1991.
In the year 2017, a prediction about the 15,270 children as well as
adolescents ages 0 to 19 were identified with cancer and also 1,790
died of the disease.
The specific program,
community service, non-
profit or government agency,
specific grant or private
funding, etc. that is working
to eliminate this specific
health disparity. (3 points)
Do not use the CDC or NIH.
NCI’s Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) Program
gather and publish cancer occurrence as well as the survival
information from population-based cancer records office that usually
protection approx. 28% of population of the US (Siegel, Miller & Jemal,
2019).
Minority Training Program Aims to Eliminate Cancer Disparities are
there that generally help in better treatment.
In the research, this has been found that Prevent Cancer Foundation is
considered as the committed preventing the cancer.
Provide the complete
reference in APA format for
at least one of the three
sources you intend to use.
