Drawing on the findings of the Community Clinical Oncology Program (CCOP) - a project that linked 52 American communities to major cancer research centres - Kaluzny and Warnecke offer evidence and specific strategies for linking clinical research facilities and consumers. They make a strong case for the benefits to research centres (such as bringing diverse populations of participants into clinical trials) and demonstrate a direct correlation between access to state-of-the-art care and successful outcomes.
