By getting involved with the MDHHS Flint Feasibility Assessment for Epidemiology Cancer Study, you’re helping to deal with the health worries caused by the Flint water problem. Your help matters, and together, we can make a difference for the community.

This program is a team effort involving different groups, including the Flint community, to deal with ongoing environmental worries. By focusing on involving the community, using good science, and communicating well, the program aims to make real progress toward figuring out if future studies on cancer and the environment are possible based on a final report.

The main goals of this program are:

Finding out what questions are most important to the people of Flint, including what they’re worried about when it comes to exposures and pollution sources.
Getting the people of Flint involved in the research, making sure they’re actively taking part and their voices are heard throughout the process.
Doing a careful check to see if it’s possible and okay to do a study on how the environment might be linked to cancer in the area.
Looking at the information we already have about the environment, differences in health, and what might be putting certain groups at a higher risk for cancer, especially focusing on how this affects minority communities.
Making a research plan that listens to the community, is clear and includes everyone, and is sensitive to the special situation in Flint.
