The Massachusetts Community Networks to Eliminate Cancer Disparities through Education, Research, and Training (MASS CONECT) is a comprehensive program initiative that will uniquely unite the Harvard School of Public Health (HSPH) and the Dana Farber/Harvard Cancer Center (DF/HCC) with multiple community partners in three urban Massachusetts communities of low socioeconomic position (SEP). MASS CONECT will advance cancer education, community-based participatory research (CBPR), training (for junior faculty, grassroots leaders, and the media), and services for low SEP minority populations in Massachusetts. The three communities are Boston and Worcester (the two largest cities in New England), and Lawrence (the poorest city in New England). In these communities, MASS CONECT will unite key partners, including major policy makers, to develop effective ways to reduce cancer disparities. Our specific aims are to intervene in each of these low SEP Massachusetts communities to improve data on community-level cancer disparities (using formative research on community perceptions of cancer disparities data and also geocoding and mapping techniques); provide leadership, cancer education, and training through respected community coalitions; educate and train local media to increase their coverage of stories on cancer disparities; promote access to key cancer control and treatment services through a prevention and clinical services core; provide needs assessments that will lead to a community-specific plan to address gaps (including identifying policy opportunities to overcome barriers to optimal cancer control and treatment); evaluate outcomes related to cancer disparities in thr three target communities (including outcomes relevant to prevention and screening, disparities research, and coverage of cancer disparities in the media); and establish relationships with NCI's Division of Cancer Control and Populations Sciences and the NCI Center to Reduce Cancer Health Disparities.

马萨诸塞州社区网络通过教育、研究和消除癌症差异 培训 (MASS CONECT) 是一项综合性计划举措，将独特地将哈佛学院团结起来 公共卫生部 (HSPH) 和达纳法伯/哈佛癌症中心 (DF/HCC) 与多个社区 马萨诸塞州三个社会经济地位较低的城市社区 (SEP) 的合作伙伴。大众连接 将推进癌症教育、基于社区的参与性研究（CBPR）、培训（针对初级教师、 基层领导人和媒体），以及为马萨诸塞州低 SEP 少数群体提供的服务。这 三个社区是波士顿和伍斯特（新英格兰最大的两个城市）和劳伦斯（新英格兰最大的两个城市）。 新英格兰最贫穷的城市）。在这些社区中，MASS CONECT 将联合主要合作伙伴，包括主要合作伙伴 政策制定者制定有效的方法来减少癌症差异。我们的具体目标是干预 马萨诸塞州每一个低 SEP 社区都将改善社区级癌症差异的数据 （使用对社区对癌症差异数据的看法的形成性研究以及地理编码和 测绘技术）；通过受人尊敬的社区提供领导力、癌症教育和培训 联盟；教育和培训当地媒体，增加对癌症差异报道的报道；推动 通过预防和临床服务核心获得关键的癌症控制和治疗服务；提供 需求评估将导致针对社区的具体计划来解决差距（包括确定政策 克服最佳癌症控制和治疗障碍的机会）；评估相关结果 三个目标社区的癌症差异（包括与预防和筛查相关的结果， 差异研究以及媒体对癌症差异的报道）；并与 NCI 建立关系 癌症控制和人口科学部和 NCI 减少癌症健康中心 差异。
