We are excited to share with you our new scholarly (peer reviewed) article just published in Journal of Psychosocial Oncology Research and Practice!
In this manuscript, we worked on understanding public engagement needs and opportunities when it comes to cancer in Newfoundland and Labrador. We also developed recommendations for both our group and external stakeholders.
For example, we collated information about which topics on cancer are relevant, or an interest to public members. We developed plans to diversify our collaborations and improve the public outreach activities in the province. We followed some of these plans as well.
This project was co-led by a public member, John King and a scientist, Sevtap Savas.
We invite you to take a look – it is free to read: https://journals.lww.com/jporp/fulltext/2024/10000/toward_a_public_outreach_and_community_engagement.5.aspx
We thank our Group members, public members who shared their thoughts with us, our funder (Office of Public Engagement) and supporters (NLSUPPORT) at Memorial University of Newfoundland.
On behalf of the Public Interest Group on Cancer Research, Sevtap Savas, St. John’s.
