Dr. Dawes Receives Outstanding Community-Engaged Faculty Award
May 16, 2024
Dr. Aaron Dawes is the recipient of Stanford Medicine’s Outstanding Community-Engaged Faculty Award.
“This is in recognition of their outstanding leadership, innovation, and long-term commitment to the advancement of community engagement and its impact on local and global communities,” said Dr. Magali Fassiotto, who presented the award at the 2024 Community Health Symposium.
Dawes was the Principal Investigator on a project with community partner Visión y Compromiso (VyC).
“The goal was to understand barriers to the receipt of recommended care for Latino patients with rectal cancers so that we could begin to design community-based interventions,” said Dawes.
Stanford researchers partnered with VyC community health workers to interview Hispanic and Latino individuals with rectal cancer in the Bay Area. They then performed a reflexive thematic analysis to identify themes. Dawes hopes to design a community health worker-led intervention for these patients and their caregivers with these themes in mind.
Dawes, in conjunction with Drs. Arden Morris and Sandra Zaky (Radiation), received a Stanford Community Impact Research Cancer Health Equity Seed Grant in December 2022 to perform the research.
