An Analysis of U54 Partnerships to Advance Cancer Health Equity (PACHE) Publications

© 2020. American Association for Cancer Education..

Using document review, we identified 963 publicly accessible NIH RePORT publications across the 16 funded U54 Partnerships to Advance Cancer Health Equity (PACHE) center programs. Using the 868 publications that met criteria, we determined the frequency of publications across the funded PACHE programs by longevity; reported the frequency of studies focused on cancer health disparities; determined the proportion of institutions serving underserved health disparity populations, underrepresented students (ISUPS), and co- and lead-authored works; and categorized the scope of studies by commonalities in their reported purposes. The study findings showed that (1) center longevity was not necessarily related to the number of publications; (2) less than 20% of studies focused on cancer health disparities (CHD); (3) ISUPU co-authors appeared in 72% of publications, while lead authors were 48%; (4) 6.07% publications focused on cancer diagnosis, screening, treatment, and risk factors; 57.5% studies were mechanistic; 21.53% focused on the impact of interventions on health promotion, prevention, and quality of life; 5.62% studies were related to educational outcomes; and 9.28% studies were classified as epidemiological/survey outcomes. One of the primary purposes of PACHE centers is CHD research. Thus, we advocate increasing the frequency of CHD-focused publications. We suggest increasing the number of ISUPU lead-authored papers. To align with the PACHE mission, we also recommend increasing the number of studies focused on cancer diagnosis, screening, treatment, and risk factors and the impact of interventions on health promotion, prevention, and quality of life. To demonstrate the effectiveness and impact of training, increasing the number of educational outcome studies is also proposed.
