Salud En Acción: National Hispanic/Latino Health Communication Research Website Launched

A new online Hispanic health resource has been launched. The site, Salud En Acción: National Hispanic/Latino Health Communication Research (www.saludenaccion.org) offers comprehensive information about Hispanic/Latino health communication research activities.

Under the direction of the Chronic Disease Prevention and Control Research Center at Baylor College of Medicine, Salud En Acción features information about projects, initiatives and other health actions.

Projects are categorized under breast cancer, community-based, genetics education/clinical trials recruitment, and tobacco prevention and control.

Among the current initiatives is Redes En Acción: The National Hispanic/Latino Cancer Network, a 5-year program that is part of a $60 million effort funded by the NCI to address the unequal burden of cancer within certain special populations in our country.
