In as post by on Linkedin, it says, “Areas of persistent poverty, defined by the National Cancer Institute (NCI) as regions in the United States as regions, or census tracts, where more than 20% of the population has lived below the poverty level for the past 30 years, face elevated rates of cancer incidence and mortality compared with wealthier neighborhoods.
Recently, The White House awarded nearly $10 million to a collaboration between Stanford University, the University of California, San Francisco, and the University of California, Davis, to launch the UPSTREAM Research Center. The center will investigate whether and in what ways regular income supplementation for people living in poverty in several Northern California communities affect their health behaviors and cancer risk. The Stanford team will be led by Stanford Cancer Institute members David Rehkopf, ScD, director of the Stanford Center for Population Health Sciences, and Mellisa Bondy, PhD, chair of the epidemiology and population health department.”
