South Dakota American Indian Cancer Disparities Data Report
As part of efforts to reduce the burden of cancer in South Dakota through the implementation of the SD Cancer Plan 2015-2020, the SD Cancer Coalition identified numerous disparities in incidence, late-stage incidence, mortality, and preventative screening rates for breast, cervical, colorectal and lung cancer between the white and American Indian populations in South Dakota. To address these inequities, key partners including the SD Department of Health and Great Plains Tribal Chairmen’s Health Board conducted further analysis of the available data.
