Welcome to CHAMP:Community Health Awareness, Messages, & Prevention

CHAMP, Community Health Awareness, Messages, & Prevention, is a team of community-based projects that aim to increase cancer early detection in and around Prince George's County, Maryland. We are based in the University of Maryland School of Public Health, and work with community partners. We use a community based participatory research approach. We work mainly with the faith-based community, building local capacity, to encourage early detection of breast, prostate, and colorectal cancer screening. Our work is supported by agencies such as the National Cancer Institute, the American Cancer Society, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Take a look at our projects.
