Assessing populations with access to National Cancer Institute-funded sites using local distance-based service areas
NCI could address travel distance as a major barrier to research participation by expanding the geographical footprint of its infrastructure funding using existing institutions in areas with identified gaps. Geospatial analysis at the census tract level is recommended and geospatial visualization can help identify strategic areas for interventions.
