This webinar will focus on the recently released Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) technical brief, Disparities and Barriers to Pediatric Cancer Survivorship Care. The brief was commissioned by the National Cancer Institute (NCI) to support the development of a research agenda associated with the Childhood Cancer Survivorship, Treatment, Access, and Research (STAR) Act. Webinar presenters will discuss the background of the report, its findings, as well as crucial next steps to address disparities and barriers in survivorship care.

There will be a brief question and answer session following the presentation.
