个人简介
Trained as an epidemiologist and health educator, Grace Hillyer's research interests are centered on the social, cultural, and cognitive determinants of health behaviors to inform the design and implementation of tailored patient educational interventions to improve health and cancer-related outcomes, particularly among minority and underserved populations. I am the Assistant Director of the Herbert Irving Comprehensive Cancer Center (HICCC) Community Outreach and Engagement (COE), the HICCC National Cancer Institute Community Oncology Research Program (NCORP) Director of Community Clinical Trial Outreach and serve as the Director of the Executive MS in Epidemiology program. My work is focused primarily on cancer control and recent projects include: 1) the development of a tobacco cessation program for patients with cancer receiving care at CUIMC who smoke and assessment of tobacco treatment needs among smokers in South Africa; 2) the promotion of clinical trial enrollment among minority and under-represented groups using culturally and linguistically tailored curricula; and 3) the development and implementation of community-based education to increase knowledge of cancer, cancer genetics, clinical trials, and precision medicine among Hispanics in Northern Manhattan. Past projects include the management of a New York State Department of Health-funded cancer control program for uninsured residents of New York City and a $10 million, 10-year Department of Defense study investigating racial disparities in the initiation of and adherence to hormonal therapy among women newly diagnosed with invasive breast cancer. While the subjects of my investigations vary widely, my expertise lies in the applied use of behavioral theory to conceptualize and investigate multilevel psychological, social, and cultural factors impacting behavior, knowledge, attitudes, beliefs using mixed methods research and the construction and implementation of tailored educational interventions.
