This bill mandates the New Jersey Department of Health (DOH) to conduct a comprehensive study on the racial aspects of ovarian cancer. The study aims to identify potential differences in the effects, rates, risk factors, symptoms, and outcomes of ovarian cancer among various racial and ethnic groups, including but not limited to Asian, African-American, Caucasian, Hispanic, Native American, and Pacific Islander women.
The Commissioner of Health is required to complete this study and submit a report detailing the findings to the Governor and the Legislature within one year of the bill's enactment. The legislation will take effect immediately and will expire upon the submission of the report.
