This is a recording of our Cancer, Data, and Policy Issues for AAs and NHPIs webinar presented on January 25, 2012 from 3:00 -- 4:00PM PST. This webinar gives you an opportunity to:
• Learn AA and NHPI census and demographic information,
• Gain insight on the data collection bill, AB 1088 and how it helps to support the critical need for ethnic-specific data on AAs and NHPIs.
