Partnership for Native American Cancer Prevention: Outreach Strategies and Evaluation 2019–2024
NACP Outreach Core's range of strategies provided cancer-related information to institutional scholars and tribal communities and maintained regular, reciprocal communication with Arizona Native Nations. The impact of these activities is difficult to assess and is limited to reach, that is, counts of participants, or "hits" on an online resource. These metrics demonstrate that NACP Outreach products are used but do not track impact. The ability to evaluate impact should be considered when designing outreach strategies. The Outreach Core team's regular connection with native American communities contributes to NACP's long-term partnership with Arizona Native Nations; community-university relationships are critical to ensuring receptivity and relevance of outreach activities.
