CSDE Affiliates Laura Dwyer-Lindgren (Health Metrics Sciences, Global Health) and Ali H. Mokdad (Health Metrics Sciences, Epidemiology) released an article in The Lancet Public Health, titled “Burden of liver cancer mortality by county, race, and ethnicity in the USA, 2000–19: a systematic analysis of health disparities“. Understanding how specific populations are affected by liver cancer is important for identifying priorities, policies, and interventions to mitigate health risks and reduce disparities. This study aims to provide comprehensive analysis of rates and trends in liver cancer mortality for different racial and ethnic populations in the USA nationally and at the county level from 2000 to 2019.
