Dr. Vida Henderson is an Assistant Professor in the Public Health Sciences Division at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center. Dr. Henderson’s research is focused on preventive health services utilization and cancer prevention and early detection. Her primary goal is to improve gender and racial cancer inequities by exploring associations between social determinants of health and behavioral outcomes across multiple socioecological levels. Grounded in social and health behavior theories and her previous research, Dr. Henderson’s program aims to address racial disparities in breast cancer diagnosis, mortality, and survivorship by examining the factors that affect the use of genetic screening services for cancer and identifying the key points for interventions. Her research has high potential for impact because of the clinical translation opportunities, and moreover, the findings could be extended to other cancers and historically marginalized populations.
