Learn how to use the ACS NCCRT’s new geospatial mapping resource, the CRC Data Dashboard.
This webinar highlights the ACS NCCRT’s latest resource, the Colorectal Cancer Data Dashboard, which offers an interactive geospatial view of data pertaining to colorectal cancer in the United States. The dynamic national platform integrates layers from multiple sources and allows you to interactively explore data using maps and graphs, including incidence, mortality, and screening rates; health care settings; demographics; and more. During the webinar, you will learn how to use the tool from the lead developer with the Geospatial Solutions Team at the American Cancer Society and hear an example of how mapping tools like this can be used to tailor interventions to increase colorectal cancer screening and impact outcomes in local areas. You’ll hear from:
