Geographical Analysis of Prostate Cancer Disparities Among African American Men:
· Research Question: How does prostate cancer incidence and mortality rates differ between African American men and men of other ethnicities in various urban settings across the U.S.? Additionally, how does social determinants like access to healthcare, socioeconomic status, and educational background affect these disparities on a geographical basis?
· Potential Outcome: Identify geographical and racial disparities in prostate cancer outcomes to inform targeted public health interventions.
· Deliverables:
· A detailed geographic and ethnic comparative analysis report on prostate cancer incidence and mortality rates.
· A series of policy briefs outlining actionable interventions, focusing on early screening, improved access to healthcare, and specific barriers encountered by African American men in different urban areas.
· A comprehensive implementation plan for awareness campaigns and public health initiatives, including stakeholder engagement strategies, educational material development, and community outreach programs tailored to the unique needs of African American men in targeted urban settings.
