Evidence-Based Cancer Survivorship Activities for Comprehensive Cancer Control.

Introduction: One of six priorities of CDC's National Comprehensive Cancer Control Program (NCCCP) is to address the needs of cancer survivors within the local population served by individually funded states, tribes, and territories. This report examines cancer survivorship activities implemented in five NCCCP grantees, which have initiated evidence-based activities outlined in A National Action Plan for Cancer Survivorship: Advancing Public Health Strategies (NAP).

Methods: NCCCP action plans, submitted annually to CDC, from 2010 to 2014 were reviewed in February 2015 to assess implementation of cancer survivorship activities and recommended strategies consistent with the NAP.

A pragmatic descriptive study of rewarming the newborn after the first bath.

Objectives: To evaluate two methods of rewarming newborns after the first bath: radiant rewarming and skin-to-skin maternal newborn contact.

Setting: A teaching hospital in the Southeast United States.
