Impact of Contextual Factors on Prostate Cancer Risk and Outcomes

Abstract

During this reporting period, we have focused on harmonizing the interview data from the two studies, geocoding the addresses for the prostate cancer cases and controls, assembling the neighborhood data, and appending them to the cases and controls. To date we have completed the majority of task 1 as outlined in the Statement of Work. The subjects residential addresses have been cleaned and subsequently geocoded at the USC GIS lab. The medical facilities data has been collected and merged with the case data as well as with the CCR data with the most updated follow-up information. The distance and travel time to facilities and distance buffers for determining distance to businesses has yet to be completed; however, we expect to finish this aspect and have our final multilevel dataset ready by the end of September.
