About Dr. Lorna H. McNeill
Lorna H. McNeill, PhD, MPH, is Professor and Chair in the Department of Health Disparities at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center. Dr. McNeill is an accomplished cancer health disparities investigator and behavioral interventionist, having devoted her career to reducing cancer disparities through both research and community outreach at MD Anderson and nationally. She has over 30 years’ community-engaged research expertise on cancer preventive behavior and the elimination of cancer-related health disparities with a particular emphasis on understanding the influence of social determinants, such as social support and neighborhood environment. Dr. McNeill has conducted several real-world, multilevel lifestyle interventions in communities with excess cancer death rates, both at the individual and structural levels, in public housing developments, churches, community-based clinics and low-income neighborhoods, to understand risk factors that increase cancer risk (e.g., physical inactivity, body weight) in these populations. She has been PI or Co-I of several peer-reviewed grants from various funding agencies (i.e., NIH, American Cancer Society, Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, PCORI, etc.). For over a decade, she has led a partnership with African American churches in Houston (called Project CHURCH) that seeks to understand cancer risk in this community and implement novel interventions (e.g., mind-body, social support, family-based physical activity intervention, etc.). Currently, she is involved in several projects at different levels studying lifestyle interventions and diet patterns for African American prostate cancer patients and their partners, obesity-related cancer prevention in persistent poverty areas, breast cancer mortality gap between African American and White adults, and faith-based mind-body interventions in African American adults.
As Director of the Center for Community-Engaged Translational Research (CCETR) and CCSG Associate Director for Community Outreach and Engagement at MD Anderson, Dr. McNeill has. established strong clinical and community-based partnerships, provided training and technical assistance to community and clinical sites for recruitment of individuals from all backgrounds, and developed and implemented evidence-based interventions to increase their participation in clinical trials.
