Building a Network of Community Primary Care Providers to Implement and Disseminate Cancer Prevention Interventions for Latino Populations
The purpose of this study is to understand primary care provider's knowledge, attitudes, and
barriers to promoting evidence-based cancer screening and prevention practices for
physicians with large Latino patient populations. The investigators will ask providers
information on cancer screening and prevention practices by conducting one-on-one
interviews. In addition, they would like to develop a committee of community providers to
help design and implement cancer screening and prevention programs specifically for Latino
patients based on the interview findings.
