Here, we benchmarked nine data-integration methods across 20 species, encompassing 4.

To address leading health organizations' calls for public health professionals to adopt family health history (FHH) into their practice, we developed the first community health worker Texas state-certification program focusing on FHH-based cancer prevention for Chinese Americans, for whom cancer is the leading cause of death. The 160-hour program trained 46 Chinese American CHWs to provide FHH-based cancer prevention services for 1129 Chinese Americans. Our program contributes to the establishment of a public health workforce with FHH-based competence and reduces cancer disparities.
