CREATE has strong community collaborations with a variety of organizations addressing cancer prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and survivorship. Our hope is to connect with communities across the San Diego and Imperial County.

Imperial Cares/SD Cares

Population health assessments were conducted in San Diego and Imperial County. The goal of the assessment was to understand disparities and identify intervention for county residents on cancer-related knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors. If you are interested in a presentation to our community regarding our findings, please contact us.

CancerDAT

CancerDAT is a free, web-based data platform that enables sharing of evidence-based best practices and local adaptations of promising practices. It presents local data on cancer incidence, mortality, hospital discharge, demographics, behaviors, and social determinants of health. To learn more about CancerDAT and request a presentation to your organization/community, please contact the CREATE Commnunity Health Liaison, Dahlia Sandoval at dis008@health.ucsd.edu.

If you are interested in using CancerDAT as a resource as you develop research project topics, aims, and partners, please access it here.
