Ohio Cancer Prevention and Control - The Ohio Department of Health (ODH) Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program (BCCP), Program 1; the Ohio Comprehensive Cancer Control Program (CCCP), Program 2; and the Ohio Cancer Incidence Surveillance System (OCISS), Program 3, are linked through a strong history of collaboration. This team also collaborates with other ODH programs that promote early detection of cancer, improved nutrition, physical activity, tobacco free environments and chronic disease management through policy, system and environmental (PSE) changes. BCCP, CCCP and OCISS also partner with the cancer coalition, Ohio Partners for Cancer Control (OPCC), to implement the 2021-2030 Ohio Comprehensive Cancer Control Plan (Cancer Plan) through PSE changes at the state and grass roots level. Program 1: Ohio Breast and Cervical Cancer Project (BCCP) The goals of the Ohio BCCP are to reduce breast and cervical cancer morbidity and mortality and to reduce disparities in breast and cervical cancer incidence and mortality. Project funds will be used to implement evidence-based programs to prevent and detect breast and cervical cancers and to improve access for populations that experience cancer disparities. Outcomes will be achieved through the use of strategies (e.g., community clinical linkages, community health care workers) to increase screenings in target populations (e.g., Black, Appalachian) and health systems change work with partner clinics. Program 2: Ohio Comprehensive Cancer Control Program (CCCP) The focus of CCCP includes decreasing the rates of cancer incidence, morbidity and mortality through targeting populations in the state that are at high risk for cancer due to health disparities. CCCP will work with OPCC to address the priority objectives of the Cancer Plan. CCCP will focus on a few priority objectives, including increasing rates of colorectal and lung cancer screening, increasing human papillomavirus vaccine (HPV) vaccination rates, and increasing access and availability of cancer survivor support services. Program 3: National Program for Cancer Registries (NPCR) The Ohio Cancer Incidence Surveillance System (OCISS) at ODH is the central cancer registry for the State of Ohio. OCISS is a population-based registry. OCISS’s overarching goal is to collect data on all reportable incidence cancer cases in a timely manner through electronic reporting and to disseminate high-quality data for the purpose of public health cancer prevention and control. OCISS will adhere to strategies as set forth by CDC’s Program Standards for the NPCR in order to reach the outputs and outcomes outlined in CDC’s NPCR Logic Model which align with the short-, medium-, and long-term outcomes described in the Funding Opportunity. OCISS will generate data to monitor these metrics to assure compliance.
