Sexualized drug use (SDU) describes use of any psychoactive substance before or during planned sexual activity to facilitate, intensify, or prolong intercourse. The impact of pain, pleasure, and other mediators on SDU is not well characterized. This study aimed to distinguish the motivations behind different classes and frequencies of substance use during receptive anal intercourse (RAI). Data were from an internet-based survey conducted between …
Sexual well-being and diurnal cortisol after prostate cancer treatment
Sexual dysfunction and psychological distress are common after prostate cancer. Research has not examined the role of neuroendocrine markers of stress (e.g. cortisol). This study examines whether sexual functioning or sexual bother is associated with diurnal cortisol. Men treated for prostate cancer completed the University of California-Los Angeles Prostate Cancer Index and provided saliva samples four times daily for cortisol assessment. Higher…
Measurement equivalence using a mixed-mode approach to administer health-related quality of life instruments
Barriers to Prostate Cancer Care
Low-income, uninsured Latino men face a myriad of barriers when accessing health care to detect, diagnose, treat, and manage their prostate cancer. In this study, we utilized grounded theory techniques to analyze transcripts of semistructured interviews with 60 Latino men enrolled in a state-funded public assistance program. We developed a descriptive framework to understand barriers to health care access among these men. Findings demonstrate tha…
Alliance of Support for Low-Income Latino Men with Prostate Cancer
Utilizing qualitative methods, this study describes the perceptions of and reliance on spirituality among indigent Latino men with prostate cancer. Sixty men were interviewed in Spanish. Transcripts were transcribed verbatim, translated, and analyzed using grounded theory techniques. Common across all men was a process involving the formation of an alliance of support that included God, doctors, and self. From this alliance, men drew strength to …
Severity of cardiovascular disease and health-related quality of life in men with prostate cancer
Prostate cancer patients with moderate to severe CVD have worse HRQL during follow-up. Those with severe CVD recover their physical and sexual functioning more slowly after treatment
Renegotiating Masculine Identity After Prostate Cancer Treatment
Because little is known about how low-income Latino and African American men attribute meaning and adapt to prostate cancer treatment -related symptoms relative to masculine identity, in this study we sought to develop a descriptive model of this process. Using qualitative methods, 60 Latino and 35 African American/Black men were interviewed by language- and ethnicity-matched male interviewers using a semistructured guide. Interviews were audiota…
Treatment Choice and Quality of Care for Men With Localized Prostate Cancer
BACKGROUND: Variations in patterns of care and treatment outcomes suggest differences in the quality of care for men treated for localized prostate cancer. OBJECTIVE: We sought to compare adherence with quality indicators for prostate cancer care among men treated with radical prostatectomy or external beam radiation therapy. RESEARCH DESIGN AND SUBJECTS: We sampled 5230 men diagnosed in 2000 or 2001 with early-stage prostate cancer from 984 faci…
Responsiveness of the National Institutes of Health Chronic Prostatitis Symptom Index (NIH-CPSI)
Measuring disease specific quality of life in localized prostate cancer
Stability of time trade-off utilities for health states associated with the treatment of prostate cancer
The Ucla Prostate Cancer Index
OBJECTIVES: The need for accurate measures of health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in men treated for prostate cancer is of paramount importance because patients may survive for many years after their diagnosis. Hence, interest has increased in choosing treatments that optimize both the quality and quantity of life in patients with this disease. This study sought to develop and evaluate a self-administered, multiitem, disease-specific instrumen…
