Ingrid J. Hall, PhD, MPH
Ingrid J. Hall, PhD, MPH, is an epidemiologist and team lead in CDC's Division of Cancer Prevention and Control. Dr. Hall's current research focus is in the area of minority health, particularly finding culturally relevant ways to publicize the need for participation in cancer screening and early detection by minority populations.
She leads the African American Women and Mass Media (AAMM) study, a pilot radio campaign to increase African American women's breast cancer awareness and mammography screening through local breast cancer and control programs. The AAMM uses local African American women's testimonies in radio advertisements to communicate messages about the importance of mammography and the availability of no-cost screening services through the BCCP.
The most recent articles Dr. Hall has first-authored include—
- 2011 Discussions about prostate cancer screening between U.S. primary care physicians and their patients.
- 2010 The potential of black radio to disseminate health messages and reduce disparities.
- 2008 Population prevalence of first-degree family history of breast and ovarian cancer in the United States: implications for genetic testing.
- 2005 Comparative analysis of breast cancer risk factors among African-American women and White women.
- 2001 Population-based estimates of the prevalence of family history of cancer among women.
