Impact of Institutional - and Individual -Level Discrimination on Medical Care & Quality of Life among Breast Cancer Survivors

Abstract

During this reporting period, we successfully conducted 31 qualitative one-on-one and focus group interviews with breast cancer survivors from 7 racial/ethnic groups, undertook rigorous qualitative data analysis and have begun to identify several novel emerging themes. We have also begun to develop the quantitative survey for cognitive testing and have conducted a comprehensive review of existing tools for the constructs of interest. We expect to report the qualitative findings in 2 manuscripts and have plans for a third manuscript based on the instrument development process.
