2023 Research Publication
TOUCH, The Black Breast Cancer Alliance along with Morehouse School of Medicine, Breastcancer.org, the Center of Healthcare Innovation, Citizen, and LRW published “Increasing Clinical Trial Participation of black Women Diagnosed with Breast Cancer” research in the Journal of Racial and Ethnic Health Disparities in 2023. The published study took a community-based participatory research approach to understand the barriers which contribute to this disparity, in the community’s own words and with research design and data collection from trusted members of the community.
TOUCH, The Black Breast Cancer Alliance drives the collaborative efforts of patients, survivors, advocates, advocacy organizations, health care professionals, researchers, and pharmaceutical companies to work towards the common goal of eradicating Black Breast Cancer.
This organization was founded to help Black women who had a breast cancer diagnosis get connected to the resources and care they needed.
