A SYSTEMATIC SCOPING REVIEW OF COMMUNICATION-BASED STUDIES ON CANCER PREVENTION AND DETECTION IN BANGLADESH By AANTAKI RAISA A THESIS PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS IN MASS COMMUNICATION UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2019 © 2019 Aantaki Raisa To my mom, sister and mentor, whose unconditional love, support and guidance have brought me where I am today, including the completion of this thesis ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to take this opportunity to thank Dr. Janice Krieger, my mentor, my advisor, who has taught me to be my best version, and inspired me to try relentlessly to excel. My gratitude is extended towards my thesis co-chair Dr. Carma Bylund, who has been my North Star, providing me directions in the very maze-like world of systematic reviews. I could not thank Dr. Frank Waddell enough, who took the time and effort to guide me through my thesis with his feedback, challenging insights and positivity. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank Mr. Reza Salim. I am forever in debt to him as he had introduced me to the world of translational science and to Dr. Krieger, where it all started for me. Finally, I would like to thank Taylor Thelander, a fellow master’s student, who came into my rescue to co-code within a short notice. I would also like to thank Dr. Alyssa Jaisle, who kept me accountable with my daily writing goals. Last but definitely not the least, I want to shout out to my STCC family, who has been a pillar of strength, support and love in my journey. 4 TABLE OF CONTENTS page ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
