[upbeat music] Hello, everybody, and welcome back to Plugged into Public Health.

What does public health look like when you take what you've learned in the classroom and apply it in a completely different country, culture, and healthcare system? Today, I'm joined by Sarah Chen, a fourth-year undergraduate student at the University of Iowa College of Public Health, who's also pursuing a certificate in human rights.

Sarah spent eight weeks in Taiwan interning with HarmonyHome Foundation Taiwan, an organization serving people living with HIV, migrant workers, undocumented individuals, and their children.

In this episode, Sarah takes us inside that experience.

We're a student-run podcast that talks about major issues in public health and how they are relevant to anyone both in and outside the field of public health.

These findings suggest that the selected risk factors explain approximately 76% of Iowa's excess cancer burden among the five most commonly diagnosed cancers in Iowa, but do not fully explain the elevated incidence observed across all cancer types, the Key Drivers of Cancer in Iowa report says.

Researchers with the University of Iowa College of Public Health and the Iowa Department of Health and Human Services presented the report during a news conference Tuesday at the Lucas Building on the Iowa State Capitol Complex.

The report is the result of the first year of the college's research into Iowa's high cancer rates.

Robert Cruz, the state medical director and division director of public health within Iowa HHS, said the report was the most comprehensive in Iowa's history and the only one of its kind in the country, as far as the agency was aware.

You may never be called, you may never match with anyone, but for someone waiting for a stem cell or bone marrow transplant, finding the right donor can be another treatment option and another reason for help.
