Question:
I am currently taking course of Community Assessment. We are supposed to March 18, 2011 11:00 PM ) interview a minimum of four key informants, individuals who work with the population or who are considered experts in the problems the population experience and determine what method should be selected to best reach the population we're interested in; what model we should use in assessing the population. My question is: to whom should I talk to about cancer rates and what questions should I ask?
Answer:
Hello and thank you for utilizing the Community Toolbox. To begin with, it sounds like your project is specific to the geographical town in which you reside. So, you might start by contacting local hospitals and/or cancer treatment centers to find informants knowledgeable on the subject. Additionally, there are some organizations on-line that may be useful in gaining cancer rates and statistics. For instance the National Cancer Center has a website that includes many statistics: http://www.cancer.gov/statistics. Also The American Cancer Society website might be informative as well: http://www.cancer.org/. Good luck with your project !
