The UC Davis Cancer Center/Sacramento State Partnership to Reduce Cancer Health Disparities through Education, Research and Training hosted its first Community-Campus Collaborative Conference in October. The conference featured national speakers on community-based, participatory research as well as presentations on successful local communitycampus projects and activities.

One outcome: three research teams, made up of faculty from Sacramento State and UC Davis Cancer Center, together with minority community leaders, formed to explore targeting tobacco and smoking in rural communities, colorectal cancer in American Indians and cervical cancer and HPV vaccination among Hispanics.

UC Davis Cancer Center and Sacramento State formed the partnership in 2005 with a goal of reducing cancer disparities throughout the region.
