Learn how to use the ACS NCCRT’s new geospatial mapping resource, the CRC Data Dashboard. 

Join the ACS NCCRT to learn about our 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. Participants 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:

• Liora Sahar, PhD, GISP, Senior Director, GIS Data Science, American Cancer Society
• Rebecca Dabbs, MPH, PMP, Associate Director, Community Partnerships, American Cancer Society
• Steven Itzkowitz, MD, FACP, FACG, AGAF, Professor of Medicine and Oncological Sciences, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai; ACS NCCRT Chair (moderator)

Drop-in “office hours” to assist new users with using the mapping tool will also be offered on Thursday, August 15, 2024 from 1:00-2:00 PM ET.

The webcast is free and is open to ACS NCCRT members, 80% Pledge partners, CDC grantees, ACS and ACS CAN staff, and other partners working to increase colorectal cancer screening rates. Pre-registration is required.
