A new, practical program, entitled Getting Ahead in a Just-Gettin'-By World, provides a novel approach to addressing this previously intractable problem. During the progression through the Getting Ahead program, individuals develop an understanding of the hidden rules of economic class and have an opportunity to craft a hopeful future story based on the practical concepts investigated in the modules. Getting Ahead has shown great success in various organizations and communities in multiple sectors, including healthcare, but has not been studied in the context of advancing cancer prevention and control.
The goal of this research study is to learn if enrolling in a program with a partner that involves monitoring each other's physical activity and providing support to one another can help both participants be more physically active.

The objective of this project is to implement and evaluate the effectiveness of a sophisticated Web-based, electronic health record (EHR)-linked clinical decision support (CDS) system designed to improve primary and secondary cancer preventive care. This project will engage a rural population with substantial healthcare disparities and gaps in the receipt of primary and secondary cancer prevention. Results will advance dissemination and implementation research methods that can reduce health disparities and improve healthcare for millions in medically under-served areas.
The goal of this research study is to learn how 3 different kinds of counseling treatments may help individuals to quit smoking.
A new mobile diagnostic and treatment unit is being developed by BCH to address the loss-to follow-up associated with the mobile screening program and demonstrate POC diagnosis by HRME. The mobile diagnostic and treatment unit will be equipped with the tools and infrastructure necessary to perform HRME, VIA, colposcopy, biopsy and treatment with cryotherapy. A team of a colposcopist, nurse, nursing assistant, and driver will staff the mobile diagnostic and treatment unit. The unit will travel to offer follow-up diagnostic and treatment services to women who have screened positive during a prior visit with the mobile screening unit. The mobile diagnostic and treatment unit will be constructed and maintained at BCH.
The goal of this research study is to learn how students react to seeing a photograph of any skin damage they may have on their face. This skin damage may be caused by sun exposure or use of tanning beds. Researchers also want to learn about students' sun protection, tanning behaviors, and attitudes towards sun exposure, sun protection, tanning behaviors and skin cancer. Researchers will use the results of this study to design programs for students about sun protection and tanning avoidance.
Background: - Researchers want to learn about people s beliefs and values. They also want to learn about how people respond to information about cancer risk. They have created two short studies. They have combined these studies for convenience. Objective: - To learn about people s beliefs and values, and about how people respond to information about cancer risk. Eligibility: - Adults age 40-70 who are overweight, have never had cancer, and have an opposite-sex close relationship with someone in that age group who is also overweight. Design: - This study will take place online or in a laboratory. - Participants will take part in two studies. One is Values Study. The other is Cancer Risk Information. - In Values Study, some participants will choose the most important value from a list. They will write about why that value is important to them. Others will choose the least important value from a list. They will write about why that value may be important to someone else. - In Cancer Risk Information, participants will read a health message about a cancer risk relevant to themselves or to a close other. Some will wear special glasses that track their eye movements as they read. - Participants will then answer questions about their beliefs about cancer risk and their intentions to lose weight. - Both studies will take 30 minutes.
The goal of this study is to better understand the factors that might prevent HIV-positive women from having routine pap smear screenings. Researchers also want to learn what might make it easier or encourage women to have these screenings.
