TCOM students conducted a study that found that the cancer screening gap among certain populations in DFW is wider than you think. Eight TCOM students, under the direction of Dr. Amany Hassan, published an article in the Journal of Community Health. The students Madeline Neff, Allison Powell, Kristina Kafle, Catalina Beltran, Sara Al-Sammarie, Melody Nguyen, Rafael do Valle, and Kristen Miguel conducted a study that shed light on the sociocultural barriers that influence cervical and breast cancer screening among Nepali and Bhutanese women in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex. Terrific work!
