Housing insecurity high among cancer survivors
High housing costs, frequent moves and homelessness are higher among cancer survivors and can negatively affect their long-term care, according to a new study by the Medical College of Georgia.
The Department of Population Health Sciences at the Medical College of Georgia at Augusta University was established in 2017 to strengthen the public medical school’s impact on the health of Georgia.
The broader mission of the department is to understand, preserve and improve the health human populations through research, training and community engagement, especially focusing on the health of Georgians. It will enable scientists and educators to pursue and share a more comprehensive perspective on who are getting sick, what they have and why, and which targeted interventions and treatments are most effective for them.
BIOSTATISTICS & DATA SCIENCE
The mission of our biostatistics program is to advance knowledge in the fields of biostatistics, and to provide leadership and scholarship in research, teaching and mentoring, for the advancement of biomedical science and improvement of human health.
EPIDEMIOLOGY
We study the distributions and determinants of diseases and health conditions in populations.
HEALTH ECONOMICS & MODELING
The HEM division was created in response to the growing need among medical professionals, health care researchers and students for support in health economic evaluations and health care modeling.
High housing costs, frequent moves and homelessness are higher among cancer survivors and can negatively affect their long-term care, according to a new study by the Medical College of Georgia.
The goal of the workshop is to educate and empower graduate students, postdoctoral fellows and early-career researchers and faculty members with emerging statistical methods to address the complex data arising from various fields, including from biomedical and cyber sciences.
"We're so excited to be partnering with AU to really make this robust and to serve our community and to serve our people and keep them safe and healthy."
Being unable to get time off from work and being “nervous” about seeing a health care provider were among many cited reasons for not always getting timely survivorship care, investigators at the Medical College of Georgia and Georgia Cancer Center report.
