A qualitative study of adolescent and young adult cancer survivors' perceptions of family and peer support
This qualitative study examined adolescent and young adult survivors' perceptions of support from family and peers. A total of 26 survivors, aged 16-24 years, who had been diagnosed with cancer between the ages of 14 and 18, participated in semi-structured interviews. Three themes emerged for support: practical support, emotional support, and new sense of closeness. For lack of support, two themes emerged: absence during treatment and lack of und…

Tanning and beauty
Tanning increases dramatically through the teenage years, but the family context of this health risk behavior is relatively unstudied. We conducted videotaped conversations between teenage girls (10th and 11th grade) and their mothers. We developed a coding system for discussion content and highlight findings including inadequate knowledge concerning the harms of tanning and positive views of outdoor tanning over indoor tanning, yet agreement tha…
Factors Associated With Inconsistent Sun Protection in First-Degree Relatives of Melanoma Survivors
First-degree relatives (FDRs) of melanoma survivors are at heightened risk for developing melanoma, but use sun protection inconsistently. To develop appropriate interventions, in this article we identify factors related to sun protection inconsistency in melanoma FDRs using ethnographic decision tree modeling. We conducted in-home interviews with 25 melanoma FDRs balanced across gender and sunbathing attitudes and identified factors related to d…
Family Communication Patterns After Melanoma Diagnosis
To examine health communication in families after cancer diagnosis, we conducted qualitative interviews examining communication processes among recently diagnosed melanoma patients and one of their adult children. Communication regarding melanoma and prevention is common in these families, yet adherence to recommended prevention and screening behaviors is inconsistent. Our study objectives were to examine processes regarding disclosure of the mel…
Thinking Through Cancer Risk
The perception of cancer risk motivates cancer risk reduction behaviors. However, common measurement strategies for cancer risk perceptions, which involve numerical likelihood estimates, do not adequately capture individuals' thoughts and feelings about cancer risk. To guide the development of novel measurement strategies, the authors used semistructured interviews to examine the thought processes used by smokers (N = 15) as they considered their…
