Assessing the Use of Constructs from the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research in U.S. Rural Cancer Screening Promotion Programs: A Systematic Search and Scoping Review
Reports on a literature review examining the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR) domains and constructs in rural cancer screening promotion programs. Explains the 5 CFIR domains of intervention, inner setting, outer setting, individuals, and process that influence the success of implementing interventions. Discusses 15 studies that examine how CFIR is used and reflects on how cancer screening promotion programs can be improved in rural areas.

The Occurrence of Bone and Joint Cancers and Their Association with Rural Living and Radon Exposure in Iowa
Examines primary bone and joint cancers between 1975 and 2016 to understand long-term changes in their occurrence. Utilizes the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database to focus on cancer occurrence in Iowa and the related correlation between cancers and rural populations, farmland size, and residential radon levels. Includes demographic data of Iowa regions and their corresponding age-adjusted incidence (AAIR) and mortality (AAMR) rates.
