Dr. Jordan Neil specializes in translational cancer communication science, which uses communication-centered strategies to translate evidence-based cancer prevention behaviors into practice among communities. His research focuses on how to improve uptake of tobacco cessation services and colorectal and lung cancer screening, as well as participation rates in cancer clinical trials. To do so, Dr. Neil leverages mixed methods and adaptive trial designs to develop, evaluate, and optimize digital interventions, with particular interest in disseminating tailored navigation strategies to meet the needs of rural and underserved patient populations.
