The work of the PIPCHE’s Community Outreach Core (COC) directly addresses the disproportionately high rates of cancer incidence and mortality found among Pacific Island Populations in Hawai‘i and Guam.
Using community outreach approaches, the Community Outreach Core will work to support, enhance, and disseminate the PIPCHE’s research to better understand the determinants of cancer in this group. The COC activities will also serve to reduce the burden of preventable cancers found in Pacific Island Populations living in Hawai‘i and Guam, which may be applicable to groups found elsewhere in the US.
Provide an essential resource to PIPCHE research projects and the Partnership
Implement evidence-based cancer prevention outreach, resources, and promotion of PIPCHE research
Assess the Partnership’s capacity to design and implement culturally relevant research in Hawai‘i and Guam
Project Leads:
Tressa Diaz, PhD, MSW (UOG)

The Community Outreach Core (COC) has developed a variety of educational materials for use by the general public, health care providers, partners, and health organizations in Guam…
The UOG Community Outreach Core (COC) Advisory Council began in 2020 with the start of the U54/ PIPCHE third grant cycle. This committee is comprised of a diverse group of influential individuals who represent the CHamoru, Filipino, and Micronesian communities in Guam. OAC members act as advisors and provide guidance to the work of the COC. They help to ensure that the COC’s work is aligned with the community. Let’s meet our OAC members!
