Component 1: NBCCEDP - ScreenWise
Under this funding opportunity, the Oregon ScreenWise Program (SW), within the Public Health Division of the Oregon Health Authority (OHA-PHD), proposes to build upon work done under the previous DP17-1701 grant, to implement a coordinated statewide program to provide breast and cervical cancer screening services to Oregon’s uninsured and underinsured women, while reducing disparities and structural barriers to screening. The SW mission is to reduce breast and cervical cancer by promoting early detection, risk factor screening, risk reduction support and access to medical treatment. SW target populations include medically underserved women living at or below 250% of the Federal Poverty Level (FPL), African American, Latina, and Asian women, those living in rural and frontier areas, and those at high-risk of having a genetic predisposition to cancer.
Component 2: NCCCP - Oregon Comprehensive Cancer Program (OCCP)
The purpose of the Oregon Comprehensive Cancer Program (OCCP) is to reduce the prevalence of cancer-related morbidity and mortality, and improve the health of cancer survivors in Oregon. OCCP will accomplish this by working in close partnership with the Oregon State Cancer Registry (funded through CDC’s National Program of Cancer Registries (NPCR)) and ScreenWise, Oregon’s breast and cervical cancer early detection program (funded through CDC’s National Breast and Cervical Cancer Screening Program (NBCCEDP)) to develop and implement a comprehensive, evidence-based cancer control plan and program in Oregon. Through this partnership, OCCP will work collaboratively with multiple public health, health system, community, and advocacy partners at the local, state, and federal levels to further reduce the prevalence of cancer-related morbidity and mortality by addressing modifiable risk factors, increasing screening, and improving cancer survivorship and survivor quality-of-life for at-risk populations in Oregon.
Component 3: NPCDP – Oregon State Cancer Registry
Identifying who is diagnosed statewide with cancer is important in the development of methods to help prevent and control cancer. The Oregon State Legislature established the Oregon State Cancer Registry in 1995. The state cancer registry is a population-based reporting system that collects and analyzes information about cancer cases occurring in Oregon. The Oregon State Cancer Registry currently conducts all required activities and meets or exceeds many of the National Program for Cancer Registries (NPCR) Program Standards. The over-arching goal for the next five years is to collect and disseminate high-quality data on all reportable incident cancer cases in a timely manner for the purpose of public health cancer prevention and control, and to improve and enhance electronic reporting from cancer reporting facilities to the Oregon State Cancer Registry.
