Overview
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to understand primary care provider's knowledge, attitudes, and barriers to promoting evidence-based cancer screening and prevention practices for physicians with large Latino patient populations. The investigators will ask providers information on cancer screening and prevention practices by conducting one-on-one interviews. In addition, they would like to develop a committee of community providers to help design and implement cancer screening and prevention programs specifically for Latino patients based on the interview findings.
