Across the globe, growing evidence confirms cancer disparities among racial and ethnic minorities, low socioeconomic status groups, sexual and gender minorities, uninsured individuals, and rural residents. Recognition of these stark disparities has led to increased global efforts for improving screening rates overall and, in medically underserved populations, highlighting the urgent need for research to inform the successful implementation of cervical cancer screening. Implementation science, defined as the study of methods to promote the integration of research evidence into health care practice, is well-suited to address this challenge. With a multilevel, implementation focus, we present key research directions that can help address cancer disparities in resource-limited settings. First, we describe several global feasibility studies that acknowledge the effectiveness of self-sampling as a strategy to improve screening coverage. Second, we highlight Project ECHO as a strategy to improve providers' knowledge through an extended virtual learning community, thereby building capacity for health care settings to deliver screening. Third, we consider community health workers, who are a cornerstone of implementing public health interventions in global communities. Finally, we see tremendous learning opportunities that use contextually relevant strategies to advance the science of community engagement and adaptations that could further enhance the uptake of screening in resource-limited settings. These opportunities provide future directions for bidirectional exchange of knowledge between local and global resource-limited settings to advance implementation science and address disparities.</p>","PeriodicalId":50495,"journal":{"name":"Ethnicity & Disease","volume":"32 4","pages":"269-274"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2022-10-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9590597/pdf/ethndis-32-269.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9524040","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Examples of HAB toxin diseases with major global health impact include: ciguatera poisoning, paralytic shellfish poisoning (PSP), amnesic shellfish poisoning (ASP), diarrhetic shellfish poisoning (DSP), and neurotoxic (brevetoxin) shellfish poisoning (NSP). Such diseases affect communities globally and contribute to health inequalities within the United States and beyond. Sharing data and lessons learned about the factors determining bloom occurrence and associated exposure to contaminated seafood across locations can reduce public health risks. Knowledge sharing is particularly important as ongoing global environmental changes seem to alter the intensity, location, and timing of toxic HAB events, reducing the reliability of conventional guidance where toxin risks have been endemic and leading to emerging challenges in new settings. Political changes that disrupt membership in knowledge-sharing networks may impede efforts to share scientific expertise and best practices. In this commentary, we stress the importance of community and expert knowledge sharing for reducing HAB risks, both for vulnerable communities in the United States and globally. Considering the impacts of political changes, we note the indirect engagement sometimes required for continued participation in international coordination programs. As an example, we highlight how lessons learned from a Native-led toxin monitoring and testing program (the Southeast Alaska Tribal Ocean Research partnership) can inform programs in other settings. We also describe how international knowledge is mutually valuable for this program in Southeast Alaska.</p>","PeriodicalId":50495,"journal":{"name":"Ethnicity & Disease","volume":"32 4","pages":"285-292"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2022-10-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9590605/pdf/ethndis-32-285.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9327809","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
