Types of Research Supported by ACSRB

• Multidisciplinary social, behavioral, and population-based intervention research to increase utilization of effective screening modalities and thereby reduce avoidable cancer morbidity and mortality.



• Development and testing of new and innovative qualitative and quantitative methods and theories appropriate for populations at risk for underuse of cancer screening.



• Exploratory and analytic research investigating and elucidating both the independent and interrelating effects of ecological and individual factors that influence the prevalence of cancer screening and resulting outcomes.



• Research incorporating new communication technologies, analytic techniques, or other innovative approaches to address complex issues surrounding perceptions, acceptance, and use of cancer screening modalities.
