10th Behavioural Research in Cancer Control (BRCC) Conference

Wednesday 14 - Friday 16 April 2010

Cancer Council WA, with support from Cancer Council Australia, hosted the 10th Behavioural Research in Cancer Control Conference, held for the first time in Perth, Western Australia, in April 2010.

The 10th BRCC Conference offered a 3-day program with information and discussion sessions on a range of preventive health behaviours related to cancer control, psychosocial health and supportive care for patients and carers, methodological research issues and translation of research to policy.

The conference provided a unique opportunity for members of behavioural research groups attached to Cancer Councils, Universities and other research institutes across Australia to meet, share ideas and encourage collaboration. In 2010, we were also joined for the first time by our Canadian colleagues in cancer control.

The conference included plenary presentations by:

Kim Raine, PhD, Professor, Centre for Health Promotion Studies, University of Alberta
Otis Brawley, MD, Chief Medical Officer, American Cancer Society
Simon Chapman, PhD, Professor of Public Health, The University of Sydney
Suzanne Chambers, PhD, Professor, General Manager of Research, Cancer Council Queensland
