Cancer Implementation Science
A research program focused on applying implementation science to cancer prevention and control. Our goal is to support communities in Massachusetts in developing sustainable strategies and partnerships to make evidence-based cancer control more accessible.
Massachusetts Cancer Prevention and Control Research Network
Overview
The Massachusetts Cancer Prevention and Control Research Network (MCPCRN) addresses tobacco cessation implementation in community health centers across Massachusetts. Our research seeks to address barriers to uptake of tobacco cessation in patients utilizing health centers for primary care and behavioral health needs. MCPCRN also represents a collaboration with other CPCRN sites across the country, through which we engage in cross center working groups focused on early career training, community engagement, and cancer prevention.
MCPCRN is a Special Interest Project of the Prevention Research Center on Nutrition and Physical Activity at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health.
