Active surveillance and trajectories of decision-making among patients with low-risk prostate cancer
Objectives Prostate cancer is the most common cancer among men in the United States. This study examines factors associated with active surveillance (AS) uptake, timing of treatment decision making, and whether timing affects quality of life. Methods We used data from a population-based observational study of 512 patients aged 40–79 diagnosed with low-risk prostate cancer from 2016 to 2022. Factors associated with AS receipt and treatment decisio…
Inequities in food access during the Covid-19 pandemic
Individuals who were food insecure reported a constellation of needs beyond food, including needs related to safety and greater social equity. Our data model illustrates the potential for rapid assessment of community residents' experiences to provide enhanced understanding of community-level needs and effective support in the face of changing circumstances
Metropolitan/nonmetropolitan differences of the impact of Covid‐19 on cancer survivors' care
PURPOSE: To evaluate pandemic-related changes in cancer-related care for cancer survivors residing in nonmetropolitan and metropolitan areas. METHODS: We used data from the Health Information National Trends-Surveillance Epidemiology End Results (HINTS-SEER) survey administered to cancer survivors from the Greater San Francisco Bay Area, Iowa, and New Mexico between January and August 2021. Respondents were queried on changes to their cancer-rela…
Dignified Resources and Coping Strategies During the Covid-19 Pandemic
Introduction Amid the spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19), racially and economically marginalized communities experienced a disproportionate burden of disease and social consequences (e.g., unemployment, increased exposure). This study seeks to understand strategies that these communities employed to cope with unequal burdens of the pandemic. Methods We utilized qualitative data collected between 2020 and 2021 from a mobile mapping platfor…
Asian American Women’s Experiences of Discrimination and Health Behaviors during the Covid-19 Pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated racism experienced by Asian Americans, especially women and older individuals. Little is known about how discriminatory experiences during the pandemic have influenced health behaviors among Asian Americans. Between 10/2021 and 6/2022, we surveyed 193 Asian American women in the San Francisco area. Participants were asked to report types of discrimination they experienced since March 2020. We explored bivariable …
Combining Mixed Methods and Community-Based Participatory Research Approaches to Identify Neighborhood-Level Needs During the Covid-19 Pandemic
The intersection of mixed methods and community-based participatory research (MMCBPR) provides a promising approach to address health inequities. Drawing from strengths of mixed methods (which provides multiple channels for individuals to share experiences) and community-based participatory research methods (which center and empower marginalized communities in research), MMCBPR allows for the development of impactful and relevant research. This a…
Impacts of Individual Patient Language and Neighborhood Ethnic Enclave on Covid-19 Test Positivity Among Hispanic/Latinx Patients in San Francisco
BACKGROUND: Given the known disparities in COVID-19 within the Hispanic/Latinx community, we sought to examine the interaction between individual-level and neighborhood-level social determinants of health using linked electronic health record data. METHODS: We examined electronic health record data linked to neighborhood data among Hispanic/Latinx patients tested for COVID-19 between March 1, 2020, and February 28, 2021, from 2 large health care …
Neighborhood Factors Associated with Covid-19 Cases in California
Google Street View-Derived Neighborhood Characteristics in California Associated with Coronary Heart Disease, Hypertension, Diabetes
Characteristics of the neighborhood built environment influence health and health behavior. Google Street View (GSV) images may facilitate measures of the neighborhood environment that are meaningful, practical, and adaptable to any geographic boundary. We used GSV images and computer vision to characterize neighborhood environments (green streets, visible utility wires, and dilapidated buildings) and examined cross-sectional associations with ch…
Everyday discrimination and telomere length in a multiethnic cohort of breast cancer survivors
Objectives: Racial/ethnic minority women have disproportionately lower breast cancer survival rates compared to white women. As minorities in the US are exposed to higher levels of discrimination, and exposure to discrimination has been associated with shorter telomere lengths (TLs), we investigated the association between perceived everyday discrimination and TL in a multiethnic sample of breast cancer survivors. Design: We examined a cohort of …
Evaluation of cortisol and telomere length measurements in ethnically diverse women with breast cancer using culturally sensitive methods
The under-representation of ethnic minority participants, who are more likely to be socially disadvantaged in biomedical research, limits generalizability of results and reductions in health disparities. To facilitate investigations of how social disadvantage "gets under the skin," this pilot study evaluated low-intensity methods for collecting hair and saliva samples from multiethnic breast cancer survivors (N = 70) and analysis of biomarkers of…
The impact of neighborhood social and built environment factors across the cancer continuum
Neighborhood social and built environments have been recognized as important contexts in which health is shaped. The authors reviewed the extent to which these neighborhood factors have been addressed in population‐level cancer research by scanning the literature for research focused on specific social and/or built environment characteristics and their association with outcomes across the cancer continuum, including incidence, diagnosis, treatmen…
