This 90-minute discussion will invite you to share how your public health agency responds to cancer cluster inquiries, available and needed resources, and ways to improve how state, local, tribal, and territorial public health agencies address cancer cluster inquiries. For the purpose of this focus group, “cancer cluster inquiries” refers to inquiries received by your public health agency about elevated cancer rates in the community suspected of having an environmental cause.

ICF will audio-record and take notes during the focus group discussion, store all data on secure servers and password-protected computers, transcribe the recording, and remove any identifiable information before sharing the data with CDC.
