| Brief purpose of the study: | Muslim breast cancer survivors are an understudied minority in the United States. Exploring their experience, needs, and expectations during survivorship is a necessary first step in developing culturally appropriate interventions. This project is the first step in a program of research aimed at addressing the complex and multifaceted nature of minority health and health disparities, intending to reduce this disparity by developing evidence-based guidelines and support for routine cancer screening, modifiable risk factors, and enhanced survivorship for Muslim breast cancer survivors. |
