Methodology & data sources
Program operator + phone + URL per state reflect CDC's most recent published directory as of Q1 2026, cross-checked against each state health department's own pages. Race-stratified mortality comes from the American Cancer Society Cancer Statistics Center, CDC WONDER (2020-2022 three-year aggregates where single-year cell counts are suppressed), and individual state cancer registries.
Refresh cadence: annual for CDC grant status (CDC CRCCP and WISEWOMAN operate on 5-year cycles); quarterly for state-specific program names, phone lines, and URLs; annual for race-stratified mortality.
A small number of states lack a CDC grant for CRCCP or WISEWOMAN. Those pages are clearly labelled — the page renders but is suppressed from the sitemap under the same guardrail used on the rest of the site (data_pending + short narrative).
