Addressing Colorectal Cancer Among Alaska Native Peoples: A Community and Subject Matter Expert Symposium
Reducing the burden of CRC among Alaska Native peoples will require persistent efforts to conduct quality research in partnership with Alaska Native communities; dedication of resources to fund research, prevention, and screening activities; and a steadfast, multisectoral commitment to addressing the persistent inequity of CRC experienced by Alaska Native peoples, families, and communities. This symposium was an important step in engaging in the collective journey to prevent CRC and promote health and wellness among Alaska Native peoples.
