J Health Care Poor Underserved

This supplement highlights the efforts of Morehouse School of Medicine's Prevention Research Center and its partners to reduce the disparities experienced by African American women for breast and cervical cancer in Georgia, North Carolina and South Carolina. The project (entitled the Southeastern U.S. Collaborative CEED, or SUCCEED) is supported by a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) grant to establish a Center of Excellence in the Elimination of Disparities (CEED). This introductory paper provides an overview describing the project's goals and core components and closes by introducing the adjoining papers that describe in more detail these components. The program components for SUCCEED include providing training and technical assistance for implementing evidence-based interventions for breast and cervical cancer; supporting capacity-building and sustainability efforts for community-based organizations; promoting the establishment of new empowered community coalitions and providing advocacy training to cancer advocates in order to affect health systems and policies.20122013-07-10T00:00:00ZU54 MD007588/MD/NIMHD NIH HHS/United StatesU58 DP000984/DP/NCCDPHP CDC HHS/United StatesU48 DP001907/DP/NCCDPHP CDC HHS/United States5U58DP000984/DP/NCCDPHP CDC HHS/United States1U48DP001907-02/DP/NCCDPHP CDC HHS/United StatesUL1 TR000454/TR/NCATS NIH HHS/United States22643554PMC3707612669
