Eliminate Preventable Cancers, Ensure all People get the Right Screenings at the Right Time, and Support Cancer Survivors in a Manner that Allows them to Live Longer Healthier Lives - NBCCEDP BCCP is a program within the Utah Department of Health that provides breast and cervical cancer screenings to Utah women of different ages who have a low to moderate income and are uninsured or underinsured through funding from the National Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program (NBCCEDP). The NBCCEDP has funded this Utah-based program since 1996, with formal evaluation in place since its inception. BCCP partners with local health departments (LHDs), community clinics, hospitals, and healthcare professionals, community-based organizations (CBOs), to provide evidence-based strategies (EBIs) to reduce cancer risk, find cancers at an early age, improve treatment, and increase the number of individuals who survive cancer. Utah BCCP begins a new five year grant cycle funded by the CDC in July 2022 through July 2027. The BCCP has prioritized strategies outlined in the required work plan including: - Strategy #2: Use surveillance systems and population-based surveys to assess cancer burden, examine health disparities, focus program efforts, and inform efforts to address social determinants of health (SDOH) - Strategy #3: Support partnerships for cancer control and prevention - Strategy #4: Deliver cancer screening and implement EBIs in primary care clinics that serve women impacted by health inequities - Strategy#5: Conduct program monitoring and evaluation to strengthen program processes and improve equitable outcomes BCCP's activities and inputs will ultimately result in two desired long-term outcomes: reduce breast and cervical cancer morbidity and mortality; and reduced breast and cervical cancer incidence and mortality disparities in Utah's disproportionate populations. BCCP grant evaluation will focus on measuring the program's outcome, strengths and sustainability. NCCCP The Utah CCC will partner with NPCR, NBCCEDP, the cancer coalition, non-traditional partners, and underserved Utah communities to implement evidence-based, equity-oriented PSE strategies. Implementation will address the root causes of cancer disparities while improving primary prevention of cancer, increasing screening and early detection, and supporting the health and wellbeing of cancer survivors across Utah. CCC will target priority populations experiencing disparities, address SDOH priorities, and maximize collaborations to achieve impact to the greatest number of Utahns. These efforts will reduce cancer risk and incidence, mortality, and disparities across Utah while improving quality of life among cancer survivors so that all Utahns can enjoy healthier, cancer-free lives. CCC will pursue innovative EBIs in the following strategies: Strategy 1: CCC will partner with NPCR to enhance cancer registry data, utilize burden data, and establish a data subcommittee on the cancer coalition to connect NPCR data to all coalition activities. Strategy 2: CCC will support SDOH questions on the BRFSS, conduct environmental scans on target populations to inform program efforts, and partner with NPCR to include LGBTQ+ survivor data in surveillance systems. Strategy 3: CCC will expand coalition membership to non-traditional sectors–including food access, housing, transportation, community design, and criminal justice–and community organizations–including organizations representing Pacific Islanders, Tribal nations, LGBTQ+ individuals, and Utahns with disabilities. Strategy 4: CCC will engage partners to implement the State Cancer Plan through health equity oriented PSE change EBIs. These include initiatives to increase food security, community safety, increased physical activity, increased access to screenings for at-risk populations, and understanding the needs of cancer survivors. Strategy 5: CCC will work with coalition partners, NBCCEDP, NPCR, and key evaluation partners to develop an effective program evaluation and performance measurement plan to track activities around State Cancer Plan implementation, coalition function, and program performa
