These high rankings can be attributed to factors such as elevated smoking rates, unhealthy eating habits, lower levels of education, and limited access to health care. However, what the facts cannot convey on their own is just how life-changing cancer can be- something that editors Nathan L. Vanderford, Lauren Hudson, and Chris Prichard have endeavored to address. The Cancer Crisis in Appalachia features essays written by a group of twenty high school and five undergraduate students, all of whom are residents of Kentucky's Appalachian region and are participants in the University of Kentucky Markey Cancer Center's Appalachian Career Training in Oncology (ACTION) program.

The Cancer Crisis in Appalachia seeks to shed light on personal cancer stories, to inspire those engaging in cancer-risk behaviors to change their ways, to motivate people to get involved with cancer-prevention initiatives, and to encourage others to give generously and uplift cancer patients and their loved ones"--|cProvided by publisher. 588 0 Online resource; title from digital title page (viewed on April 30, 2020). 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 650 0 Cancer|xSocial aspects|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85019542|zKentucky.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/n79018583-781 650 0 Cancer|xSocial aspects|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85019542|zAppalachian Region.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85006073-781 650 0 Cancer|xPatients|xFamily relationships|0https://id.loc.gov /authorities/subjects/sh85019521|zKentucky.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n79018583-781 650 0 Cancer|xPatients|xFamily relationships|0https://id.loc.gov /authorities/subjects/sh85019521|zAppalachian Region. |0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85006073-781 650 0 Teenagers|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh87006824|zKentucky|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names /n79018583-781|xAttitudes.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities /subjects/sh2002006216 650 0 Teenagers|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh87006824|zAppalachian Region|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh85006073-781|xAttitudes.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2002006216 650 7 Cancer|xSocial aspects.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/845519 650 7 Cancer|xPatients|xFamily relationships.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/845422 650 7 Teenagers.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1145551 651 2 Kentucky.|0https://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D007629 651 7 Kentucky.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1204494 651 7 Appalachian Region.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1240092 655 0 Electronic books. 655 4 Electronic books. 700 1 Vanderford, Nathan L.,|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ names/n2017190121|eeditor. 700 1 Hudson, Lauren,|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ no2014070364|eeditor. 700 1 Prichard, Chris,|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ no2020041320|eeditor. 776 08 |iPrint version:|z1950690032|z9781950690039 |w(OCoLC)1132279973 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=2330019|zOnline ebook via EBSCO.
