Quality Improvement and Research

With our community partners, PECaD conducts quality-improvement activities. The goals of these activities are:

• To assess and improve efforts to end cancer disparities
• To promote appropriate patient participation in clinical studies at the Siteman Cancer Center by gender, race and ethnicity
• To engage community leadership to strengthen the relevance, reach and direction of cancer disparities research
• To use community-based participatory research approaches to understand and eliminate cancer disparities

This section of our website houses information about quality-improvement and research projects divided into three categories:
