PROVIDING ACESS TO CANCER CARE FOR EAST AFRICAN IMMIGRANT LIVING IN WAHSINGTON STATE
PROJECT NAME: Bridging the gap between early detection of cancer in East African immigrants and access to cancer-related services and health care systems in King County and surrounding
INTRODUCTION: African immigrants experience disproportionate impacts of cancer. In recent years research has shown that US cancer cases have increased substantially among African immigrants (Paulo S. Pinheiro, 2020), as has the number of African immigrants itself (Paulo S. Pinheiro, 2020). This increase has led to a greater need for access to preventive care for those immigrants. Additionally, research has shown that the overall rate of cancer screenings is lower among African immigrants compared to other races/nations (Michelle Tong, 2022). This in turn, has increased the mortality rate in the African immigrant community, because most of them are diagnosed with cancer at a late stage (Alejandra Hurtado-de-Mendoza, 2014). Researchers have identified health inequities caused by different factors, such as lack of health insurance; immigration status (mostly undocumented immigrants); the perception of cancer screening due to culture and religion; lack of money; lack of support, encouragement, or recommendation to participate in screening; lack of clear information mainly due to language barriers; lack of access to resources for care; and discrimination as being the major cause of this problem (Baciu A, 2017). Also, lack of clarity does not allow to define baseline for screening it is hard to see the gap, but we know it is there. Interventions to improve cancer outcomes in African immigrants are needed. Research that includes larger samples with diverse African subgroups including cancer survivors are necessary to inform future directions. RESEARCH QUESTION: To improve cancer education and access to care for African immigrant in King County and the surrounding counties

GOALS:
- To improve the system that develops and publishes cancer and cancer-related services information and materials by making it culturally and linguistically responsive to African immigrant communities.
- To mobilize African immigrants in King County and neighboring counties to support improvements to systems that disseminate information about cancer screening
