Project Description:
Much cancer research among people with IDD has focused on cancer screening outcomes, while neglecting other aspects of the cancer continuum and special populations, such as racial/ethnic minorities. This project aims to: 1) identify gaps in cancer research among PWIDD in order to develop and carry out research projects to address that need; 2) develop and conduct cancer research among racial/ethnic minorities with IDD
