EthicalStL.org

From our speaker, Dr. Aimee James, “I will talk about what we can do to reduce cancer risk, including recommendations for cancer screening and early detection. The talk will address current recommendations for cancer prevention and early detection, and some of the evidence behind the recommendations. It will touch on how we can navigate health information to make informed decisions, and how we can support those around us in evidence-based action and health promotion. It will conclude with how we can apply what we know to promote equitable access and health for our communities and the role research plays in this context. Key questions to consider will include: What are the ways we can to promote health? How do we make sense of and filter through all the information we see and hear? What can we do to support those around us in learning health information and access the care they need? What questions can we ask to learn more about research and health?”
