Objectives: The purpose of this study was to assess predictors health-related quality life (HRQoL) in elderly Asian American and non-Hispanic White cancer survivors.Methods: We conducted cross-sectional secondary data analyses using the combined datasets from Surveillance, Epidemiology, End Results program Medicare Health Outcomes Survey.Results: Elderly survivors reported a lower mental HRQoL but comparable physical relative survivors. Stress factors, such as comorbidities, difficulties...

The were: Upper East Side (UES) Brighton Beach/Coney Island (BB/CI)....
The purpose of this study is to examine age-related differences in health-related quality life (HRQOL) between younger (age 18–65) and older cancer survivors 65+). Data used for were drawn from the 2014 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System, a cross-sectional, state-based, annual random-digit-dialed telephone survey non-institutionalized adults. All respondents who had completed core questionnaire survivorship module included (n=5,656). Demographic data show that 60% participants...
Objectives: The primary aim of this paper was to examine the potential differences in health-related quality life (HRQOL) between middle-aged (45–64 years old) and older adult (65 older) cancer survivors utilizing contextual model life.
 Methods Materials: author conducted a secondary data analysis 2014 behavioral risk factor surveillance system survivorship module survey. Only respondents age 45 were included, resulting n = 5656.

By linking bilingual/bicultural community workers...
Abstract Background: Lung cancer is the second and fourth most common diagnosed among Chinese American men women respectively. Screening can detect lung in its early, treatable stages. In 2022, US Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) expanded their annual eligibility criteria. Despite disproportionately high rates of Americans, prior research suggest that screening Americans remain low due to complex systemic barriers. Objective: We seek describe development a culturally linguistically...
