Annavey Skenandore, Snowy Johnson, and Daniel Padron from OCOE sit down with Dr. Triplette – Medical Director of the Lung Cancer Screening Program and Living Tobacco Free Services Program, as well as Associate Professor with the Cancer Prevention Program at FHCC (to name a few of their roles) – to talk about Dr. Triplette's pilot study and insights around disparities in sexual orientation and gender identity (SOGI) data collection and bias faced by LGBTQ+ patients receiving cancer care.
