  1. CDC Southeast American Indian/Alaska Native Regional Cancer Conference “Building Partnerships for Cancer Control “ July 25-27, 2012 Nashville, TN Presenters: Sonya Younger and Vonda Evans AIAN State Challenges

  2. Native American History in SC • From the coast to the mountains, South Carolina State Parks protect some of the most important and interesting Native American sites in the state. • Almost all State Parks contain remnants of the lives and culture of Native Americans.

  3. Ancient Peoples • Walk the Spanish Mount Trail at Edisto Beach State Park that leads to the Spanish Mount Shell Midden Site. The site dates to approximately 3,000 to 4,000 years ago and features a 12-foot high circle of shells that may have been a Native American ceremonial site or a midden (trash heap).

  4. Native American Day • Oconee Station State Historic Site in the Blue Ridge foothills explores what life was like for the settlers and Indians on the American frontier. • The park is the site of the annual Native American Day featuring demonstrations such as pottery making, bow making and flint knapping that help visitors learn about the culture of Native Americans before and after European colonization.

  5. South Carolina Native American Affairs

  6. Native Americans in South Carolina • Once had 29 distinct tribes (1763) • Currently have 7 (2012): • Catawba • Pee Dee • Chicora • Edisto • Santee • Chicora-Waccamaw • Cherokee

  9. SC Population Trends by Race: 2010 Source: SCCCR

  10. SC Cancer Incidence 1. Invasive cases only except for bladder, which includes in situ cancers Source: SCCCR

  11. SC Cancer Mortality Source: SCCCR

  12. SC Cancer Rates 1. Incidence data include invasive cases only, except for bladder, which includes in situ cases Source: SCCCR

  13. SC Central Cancer Registry Challenges • Identification of individual AIANs • Collecting race for this population is directly related to two things: • 1) availability of the recorded race in the patient medical record/pathology reports, and • 2) accuracy of the recorded race. • The SCCCR collects data from hospitals, path labs, freestanding treatment centers and MD offices (urology, oncology, and dermatology). Race is absent from most pathology reports as this is not reported to the pathologist from the surgeon. So, when the path report is the primary source document identifying the new cancer case to the SCCCR, they follow back to the diagnosing physicians to obtain race from physician source records. • Accuracy of race is more difficult to assess through data quality control

  14. SC Central Cancer Registry Challenges • Additional steps taken to identify AIANs in SC Cancer Registry • Indian Health Service Linkage • Part of the SCCCR’s data submission preparation and process annually to the North American Association of Central Cancer Registries (NAACCR) • SCCCR links its entire database to the Indian Health Service (IHS). • The detailed breakdown of the link results are returned and a variable is kept in the ‘research’ data file showing the link result for individual patients.

  15. SC Best Chance Network • Provides eligible South Carolina women with free breast and cervical cancer screenings • Has screened 92,568 women since its beginning in 1991 • 261 (0.28%) of these women are Native Americans • 109 (42%) of the Native Americans screened came back in subsequent years for rescreening

  16. SC Best Chance Network

  17. Post Conference Goals • Seek to identify Tribal Leaders (Chiefs) • Seek to listen to leaders and determine best ways to stress importance of cancer screening • Seek to access available tribal information • Best approaches needed • Ways to keep engaged

  18. Post Conference Goals • Seek State Cancer Plan representation and implementation • State Coalition (SCCA) and ACOS partnership • Request review/revision of medical reporting methods to more accurately capture population identification and data
