VOICES of Black Women is a long-term study led by the Population Science team within the American Cancer Society (ACS). The VOICES study aims to enroll at least 100,000 Black women ages 25 to 55 in the United States who have never been diagnosed with cancer. The goal of this study is to better understand health conditions like cancer and how to improve overall health among Black women.
