Event Materials

This webinar focused on the recently released Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) technical brief, Disparities and Barriers to Pediatric Cancer Survivorship Care. The brief was commissioned by the National Cancer Institute (NCI) to support the development of a research agenda associated with the Childhood Cancer Survivorship, Treatment, Access, and Research (STAR) Act. Webinar presenters discussed the background of the report, its findings, as well as crucial next steps to address disparities and barriers in survivorship care.

Following the presentation there was a brief question and answer session.

Intended Audience

Researchers, clinicians, hospital administrators, and those working in public health who focus on childhood cancer, survivorship, and health disparities.
