Share On Social!
You are invited to join a webinar to learn more about how certain behaviors impact Latino cancer incidence, causes, and effects.
The webinar, at 11 a.m. CST (9 a.m. PST) on Tuesday, Jan. 15, 2013, will explore the interaction of race/ethnicity, social class, acculturation, and English language fluency, and how these social constructs may interact with genetic variation and the social definition of race and ethnicity in determining cancer rates.
Behavioral factors, such as tobacco use, physical activity, alcohol use and screening behavior will be discussed.
The webinar is hosted by researchers of Redes En Acción, a national Latino cancer research network funded by the National Cancer Institute (NCI) and directed by the Institute for Health Promotion Research (IHPR) at The UT Health Science Center at San Antonio, the team behind SaludToday.
