“…In a study of over 20 000 asymptomatic adults with no medical history of previous urologic disease who had urine dipstick screening at Kaiser Permanente, 598 (3%) had AMH, and of these, 3 (0.5%) developed urologic cancer (2 prostate and 1 bladder cancer) over the following 3 years. Rates of urologic cancer among participants with AMH were not higher compared with rates among participants without AMH …”

“…Today's pressing issues in prevention and control little resemble those identified in NCI's formative years [ 7 , 75 , 76 ]. Cancer prevention and control research in the U.S. now incorporates the multi-level complexity [ 77 , 78 ] of the financing and delivery of cancer care, focusing upon rescinding ineffective, low-value, or harmful practices [ 79.…”

In 1971, Congress passed the National Cancer Act, landmark legislation that reorganized the National Institutes of Health's National Cancer Institute (NCI). The Act included a new focus on cancer control, including the requirement that the NCI award research grants and contracts, in collaboration with other public agencies and private industry, to conduct cancer control activities related to the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of cancer. The requirement placed the NCI at the nexus of a rapidly changing science and a complex and dynamic healthcare delivery system and involved an evolutionary transformation to advance cancer control and cancer care delivery research along the cancer care continuum. Analysis is based on a qualitative ethnographic approach using historical records, oral histories, and targeted interviews. The multimethod approach provided the opportunity to describe to the vision, leadership, and struggle to build an infrastructure, expand expertise, and forge collaboration with the NCI and a complex and changing healthcare system. As the 50th anniversary of the National Cancer Act approaches in 2020, the process and these achievements are at risk of being taken for granted or lost in the flow of history. Documenting the process, milestones, and key players provides insight and guidance for continuing to improve cancer care, advance research, and reduce cancer incidence and mortality. Cancer care is a microcosm of the larger healthcare system providing insight and lessons on the importance of developing and maintaining a research infrastructure and the role of multi- level collaboration and partnerships involving both the private and public sectors.

“…For instance, recent data on cancer prevention behaviors shows that 31.3% of African American men and 38.3% of African American women are physically inactive, and 15% of African Americans smoke cigarettes [ 5 ]. Consistent with this, health promotion and disease prevention behaviors are foundational to the cancer control continuum [ 6 ] and behavioral risk factors are among the determinants included in conceptual models of minority health and health disparities [ 7 ]. Effective communication of information about disease risk, strategies for making behavior changes, and the outcomes of making health behavior changes is also essential in health promotion and disease prevention interventions, but several factors can diminish the receipt, processing, and application of health information.…”

Basic behavioral science research priorities in minority health and health disparities

Achieving health equity among disparity populations has been a national, regional, and local priority for several years. Health promotion and disease prevention behaviors play an important role in achieving health equity; the first generation of behavioral science studies in minority health and health disparities have provided important insights about the nature and distribution of risk exposure behaviors in disparity populations. Interventions have also been developed to enhance health promotion and disease prevention behaviors using behavioral counseling, tailored health communications, and interventions that are developed collaboratively with community stakeholders. Although intervention development and evaluation are components of transdisciplinary translational behavior research, discovery science is a critical first step in translational research. Consistent with this, conceptual models and frameworks of minority health and health disparities have evolved to include multilevel determinants that include basic behavioral mechanisms such as stress responses and stress reactivity that have physiological, psychological, and behavioral components that are relevant to minority health and health disparities. This report describes priorities, opportunities, and barriers to conducting transdisciplinary translational behavioral research during the next generation of minority health and health disparities research.
