Quality of Breast Cancer Care: The Role of Hispanic Ethnicity, Language, and Socioeconomic Position

Abstract

Socioeconomic position (SEP) refers to a range of dimensions that describe absolute and relative position in society including income, education, poverty, deprivation, and social status. The ultimate goal of the proposed work is to inform our understanding of racial and ethnic disparities in breast cancer care and the contribution of SEP and linguistic barriers, particularly for Hispanic women. This work has the potential to contribute to our understanding of disparities in breast cancer care, and to inform strategies to improve access to and quality of care for all women with breast cancer.
