Using Stakeholder Engagement to Build Cancer Survivorship Care Coordination Capacity Between Primary and Oncology Care
Introduction: Cancer survivors experience gaps in access to timely and well-coordinated care. We describe stakeholder engagement activities across a university-based comprehensive cancer center and a primary care-focused federally qualified health center, which informed implementation and sustainability of community-focused cancer care coordination interventions to optimize care for underserved cancer patients in specialty and primary care. Metho…
Empathic Communication and Implicit Bias in the Context of Cancer Among a Medical Student Sample
Oncology clinicians often miss opportunities to communicate empathy to patients. The current study examined the relationship between implicit bias (based on cancer type and ethnicity) and medical students’ empathic communication in encounters with standardized patients who presented as Hispanic (lung or colorectal) individuals diagnosed with cancer. Participants (101 medical students) completed the Implicit Association Test (IAT) to measure impli…
Dispositional shame and guilt as predictors of depressive symptoms and anxiety among adults with lung cancer
Shame- and guilt-proneness are associated significantly with depressive symptoms and anxiety, respectively, and the relationship between guilt-proneness and anxiety is explained in part by internalized stigma in a sample of newly diagnosed lung cancer patients. Findings carry implications for the early identification of lung cancer patients in need of additional supportive care services and highlight internalized stigma as a target for psychosoci…

Decreasing Smoking but Increasing Stigma? Anti-tobacco Campaigns, Public Health, and Cancer Care
Public health researchers, mental health clinicians, philosophers, and medical ethicists have questioned whether the public health benefits of large-scale anti-tobacco campaigns are justified in light of the potential for exacerbating stigma toward patients diagnosed with lung cancer. Although there is strong evidence for the public health benefits of anti-tobacco campaigns, there is a growing appreciation for the need to better attend to the uni…
Development and preliminary psychometric evaluation of a patient-reported outcome measure for lung cancer stigma
In a multi-phase process, we have developed a reliable, multi-dimensional measure of lung cancer stigma, the Lung Cancer Stigma Inventory (LCSI). Subsequent work will be conducted to establish further evidence of validity and clinically meaningful change
The Hispanic health paradox
Similar to non-Hispanic Blacks, Hispanics/Latinos experience a range of psychosocial and physical health challenges, including high rates of poverty, neighborhood segregation, discrimination, poor healthcare access, and high rates of obesity, diabetes, and undiagnosed and late-stage diagnosed diseases. Despite such risks, Hispanics generally experience better physical health and lower mortality than non-Hispanic Whites, an epidemiological phenome…
Racial/ethnic differences in 12-month in-hospital survival and hospital utilization trends
El grupo etnico hispano es asociado con una ventaja de mortalidad en todas las causas, comparado a los blancos no hispanos (NH). Esta ventaja puede ser debido a mejores resultados en varios puntos a traves del transcurso de la enfermedad, incluyendo la sobrevivencia y la recuperacion de eventos agudas. El objetivo actual era examinar la hipotesis que el grupo etnico hispano es asociado con una ventaja en supervivencia y recuperacion en el context…
Posttraumatic Stress Associated With Cancer History and BRCA1/2 Genetic Testing
Objective: A subset of women who are at elevated cancer risk due to family history exhibit evidence of cancer-specific distress. These stress responses may represent symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The present study assessed rates of PTSD related to personal or family cancer history and BRCA1/2 testing. Methods: Participants were 84 women enrolled in a larger project focused on genetic testing decisions. Semistructured diagnosti…
