The Southern Community Cohort Study (SCCS) is a research initiative funded by the National Cancer Institute that began in 2001. Its primary objective is to investigate the underlying causes of cancer health disparities and utilize the findings to prevent and alleviate the burden of cancer across all populations. With the active involvement of participants and researchers, the SCCS aims to improve health outcomes in the community by addressing unresolved questions related to cancer.
Through extensive research and collaboration between scientists at Vanderbilt University, Meharry Medical College, and the International Epidemiology Institute, the SCCS has published over 300 journal articles since 2005. Their studies cover a wide range of topics, including risk factors for cancer, diabetes, heart disease, and other diseases. The SCCS is committed to making a positive impact on the community and appreciates the valuable contributions of its participants in advancing health research.
