The purpose of this project is to design and plan a Regional Center of Research Excellence for NCDs in India. The consortium is led by the Public Health Foundation of India, RTI International‒India, and Emory University. RTI will implement the community engagement plan to develop consensus on research priorities for NCD prevention and control in India. RTI also will conduct a mixed methods study to describe the prevalence and correlates of cancer-related perceived stigma and investigate cancer- and diabetes-related knowledge and psychosocial barriers to diagnosis and treatment, including fear, stigma, anxiety, and depression.
