Abstract
Abstract San Diego County is a minority-majority region, in which non-Hispanic whites are not the majority population (46%). Hispanics comprise 33.5% of the population and Asian Pacific Islanders (APIs) make up 12.8%. For risk factor burden, data based on California Health Interview Survey and Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System show that Hispanics in San Diego County have the lowest colorectal, breast, and cervix cancer screening rates, the highest obesity prevalence, and the highest proportion of no physical activity. The mission of the Border Health Consortium of the Californias-Binational Cancer Work Group is to promote cancer-free lives and erase borders in our region. We will identify and characterize priority cancer topics for our border region, organize along the cancer control continuum, identify key border region cancer activities and resources (binational), and identify key border region cancer needs (binational). To reach our objectives we will optimize collaboration, coordination, and cooperation. Citation Format: Prisci Quijada. Border Health Consortium of the Californias [abstract].
