Research in Understudied Populations and Cancer Disparities Webinar Series — Addressing Health Disparities and Reducing Mortality due to Non-Communicable Diseases During Climate-Induced Disasters

Description: This event is co-sponsored by the NIH Climate Change and Health Initiative and the Implementation Science Team in the Division of Cancer Control and Population Sciences at the National Cancer Institute. At least one-third of the mortality after severe weather events such as hurricanes is due to poorly managed non-communicable diseases (NCDs). With the advent of climate change, the world will experience more severe extreme weather events, further exacerbating health disparities. There is an urgent need for research on implementation strategies to improve survival of people living with NCDs in the face of climate-fueled natural disasters.
