Influence of Prostate Cancer Treatment on Work Experiences with Focus on Race and Income

Abstract

The objective of this study is to determine how a prostate cancer diagnosis, its treatment, and side-effects from treatment influence African American survivors work ability and experiences. More specifically, the study will examine factors that influence desired and actual length of sick leave; work-related challenges following treatment; and changes in work ability and status following treatment, and compare how African American and white prostate cancer survivors experiences are similar or different. Questionnaire data and transcripts of in-depth interviews will be analyzed.
