Abstract
Study One Abstract Introduction: The primary aim of this study was to examine whether physical and mental health-related quality of life (HRQOL) of African American cancer survivors differed based on age, sex, income, health behaviors (current exercise, current smoking, recent alcohol use, and recent binge drinking), and access to health care (health care coverage, have a doctor/primary care provider, and physical checkup in last 12 months). Methods: Secondary analysis of the 2014 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System survey was performed. Participants were African American adults (n = 2,573). Results: Results indicated that those reporting the highest physical and mental HRQOL were female, age 65 years or older, and with an income of $20,000 or greater. Discussion: The findings of this study can be used by health educators interested in increasing HRQOL among African American cancer survivors. Study Two Abstract Introduction: The primary aim of this study was to examine whether physical and mental health-related quality of life (HRQOL) of Hispanic cancer survivors differed based on age, sex, income, health behaviors (current exercise, current smoking, recent alcohol use, and recent binge drinking), and access to health care (health care coverage, have a doctor/primary care provider, and physical checkup in last 12 months). Methods: Secondary analysis of the 2014 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System survey was performed. Participants were Hispanic adults (n = 1,642). Results: Results indicated that those reporting the highest physical and mental HRQOL were female, age 65 years or older, and with an income of $20,000 or greater. Discussion: The findings of this study can be used by health educators interested in increasing HRQOL among African American cancer survivors. Having health care access positively impacted physical HRQOL but did not impact mental HRQOL. Discussion: The findings of this study can be used by health educators interested in increasing HRQOL among Hispanic cancer survivors.
