40%
higher breast cancer death rate for Black women than White women.
A community breast cancer research study
Our Health Is Our Future
Sante Nou Se Avni Nou (SNAN). For Black women and men around the world.
SCAN TO PARTICIPATE
Every person who joins adds data that does not exist yet.
Why we are asking
9in10
people in genetic research studies are of European descent.
1in50
are of African descent.
That data builds the risk scores, the screening advice, and the new drugs.
The gap is not that we said no. It is that we were rarely asked.
What is at stake
52%
higher rate of breast cancer in Black men than in White men.
We are not one story
Survival differs among Black communities too, and almost no one has studied why.
We are enrolling around the world
The United States of AmericaThe Bahamas
Comparing Black communities in different places is how researchers separate what comes from our biology from what comes from where and how we live.

A comprehensive survey
Registration takes just a few minutes. After that, we ask of series of questions to get to know you , the person.

Someone from the study calls to finish the rest of the survey. The rest of your compensation comes after that. You'll get an extra $20 if you gave saliva and $30 if you gave blood.
