ENABLE Lab member Brittney Greene’s abstract entitled: “Examining Behavioral Economic Strategies to Improve Recruitment and Retention Rates across Four Randomized Controlled Trials” will be recognized as a Meritorious Abstract at the upcoming meeting for the Society of Behavioral Medicine in April 2023!
A recent publication from the ENABLE lab sheds light on how critical drivers of health disparities (such as race, gender, and income) are associated with where patients with cancer obtain cannabis, what forms they use, and what may influence their purchase decisions. As rates of cannabis use rise in patients with cancer, identifying opportunities to reduce health disparities will be essential.
