Native American Cancer Control Literature Database

The Native American Cancer Control Literature Database is a compilation of published scientific literature on cancer-related topics with Native American communities including American Indian, Alaska Native, Native Hawaiian and First Nations populations.

Methodology

To identify relevant literature, NCI searched three databases: PubMed, EBSCO, and Web of Science using terms related to the populations, research, and cancer. The search was limited to academic journal articles published between 1994 and May 2020.

After the literature was collected, NCI reviewed each title and abstract for relevance and coded it based on the population, geographic location, cancer site, research type, intervention site, cancer continuum, and intervention area. NCI reviewed over 3,000 abstracts of which over 1,900 are included in the database.

If you find any relevant papers missing from the database, please send them to Amy Kennedy amy.kennedy@nih.gov.
