Here is the proposal:
Health Disparities in Pancreatic Cancer: A Study of Racial and Ethnic Minority Populations
Pancreatic cancer is a devastating disease with a low survival rate and is often diagnosed late and claimed my mother’s life two years ago. Health disparities in pancreatic cancer incidence, diagnosis, treatment, and outcomes have been documented among different populations, including racial and ethnic minorities. This research proposal aims to investigate the health disparities in pancreatic cancer among racial and ethnic minority populations by answering the following questions.
What is the incidence of pancreatic cancer among different racial and ethnic minority populations, and how does this compare to white populations?
What factors contribute to health disparities in pancreatic cancer incidence, diagnosis, treatment, and outcomes among different racial and ethnic minority populations?
How do socioeconomic status, access to care, and cultural factors impact health disparities in pancreatic cancer among different racial and ethnic minority populations?
What are the knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors related to pancreatic cancer among individuals from different racial and ethnic minority populations, and how do these differ from white folks?
How do access to care and treatment outcomes for pancreatic cancer differ among different racial and ethnic minority populations, and what are the potential solutions to improve outcomes for these populations?
What are the barriers and facilitators to accessing care and receiving appropriate treatment for pancreatic cancer among different racial and ethnic minority populations, and how do these impact health disparities?
Pancreatic cancer is the fourth leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the United States. While the incidence of pancreatic cancer is highest among African Americans and Native Americans, these populations are less likely to be diagnosed at an early stage. They are more likely to experience worse outcomes than white populations. Additionally, racial and ethnic minorities may face barriers to accessing care and receiving appropriate treatment for pancreatic cancer.
