Although Latinos comprise 12.5 percent of the U.S. population and are the nation&#8217;s fastest-growing minority group, in cancer research participation, the percentage of Latinos falls dramatically below non-Hispanic whites. In National Cancer Institute cancer clinical trials, the proportion of Latino participants is less than 6 percent, as compared to 85 percent representation by non-Hispanic whites. &#8220;Many Latinos are unaware of the opportunities available to take part in cutting-edge cancer research,&#8221; noted Amelie G. Ramirez, DrPH, <em>Redes En Acci\u00f3n<\/em> Principal Investigator. &#8220;This means that ongoing cancer research does not adequately reflect the needs of Latinos, and that many Latino cancer patients are missing out on opportunities to receive the latest cancer treatments.&#8221; Through the new national public service campaign, <em>Redes En Acci\u00f3n<\/em>, in partnership with the Cancer Information Service (CIS), is addressing the under-representation of Latinos in cancer studies. Through a series of video, audio and print public service announcements (PSAs), the campaign encourages Latinos to learn more about participating in clinical trials. PSAs produced in both English and Spanish have been distributed to hundreds of television, radio, newspaper and magazine media around the country. Developed by <em>Redes En Acci\u00f3n<\/em>, the PSAs provide the toll-free CIS telephone number (1-800-4-CANCER) and urge Latinos to call for information about cancer research in general and, in particular, studies taking place in their area. The PSA campaign is part of ongoing cancer awareness, research and training efforts of <em>Redes En Acci\u00f3n<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>What Is Redes En Acci\u00f3n?<\/em><\/strong> <em>Redes En Acci\u00f3n<\/em> is a major NCI-supported initiative to combat cancer among Latinos through a nationwide network of community-based organizations, research institutions, government health agencies and the public.
