Book excerpt: Health communication at numerous levels is vital to sustainability of healthy individuals. The notion of African-American mothers and adult daughters sharing breast health and breast cancer knowledge openly and honestly could be the initial step in addressing the high morbidity and mortality that continues to affect this population. Communication is a variable that has yet to be studied between African-American mothers diagnosed with breast cancer and their adult daughters. This study first examined whether this relationship existed, and secondly if it was strong enough in supporting and encouraging one another towards consistent breast health and breast cancer screening activities. The research also looked at whether knowledge, risk perception, self-efficacy, and communication were moderated by age, income, education, and employment status. In addition, the investigator assessed connectedness, interdependence, and trust in hierarchy subscales as utilized in the Mother and Adult-Daughter Questionnaire. Health care providers have yet been able to affect change in the overwhelming mortality rate in African-American women with breast cancer disease. The purpose of this descriptive, quantitative, feasibility study was to evaluate the affects of knowledge, risk perception, communication, self-efficacy, connectedness, interdependence, trust in hierarchy, and to identify independent variables most likely to encourage behavior change in adult daughters. The conceptual framework for this study was based on the Theory of Reasoned Action. Descriptive statistics, t-tests, contingency tables using chi square, and correlations were used to analyze data from a sample of 16 African-American mothers with breast cancer and their adult daughters without a diagnosis of breast cancer. This study found a positive correlation between mother- and adult daughter relationships and encouragement by mothers for their adult daughters to participate in breast health activities with this particular sample. As a feasibility study, the sample size prevented results with statistical power. Further studies are needed to fully appreciate the extent of this phenomenon.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Behavioral Center of Excellence (BCE) in Breast Cancer was established to provide a comprehensive, multi disciplinary approach for studying the process of, and methods for facilitating, successful adaptation in the context of breast cancer risk, treatment, and recovery. The four ongoing studies are derived from and integrated by a unifying theoretical framework, and are supported by four core facilities (i.e., Administrative, Communication, Genetic Testing and Bioinformatics Core). The four projects are: I) development of an intervention to promote utilization of breast cancer risk assessment programs and adherence to screening recommendations among underserved African-American women; 2) use of a "teachable moment" and tailored communication materials to promote utilization of risk assessment and adherence to screening among daughters of diagnosed breast cancer patients; 3) the promotion of psychological and physical adaptation among breast cancer patients at the completion of active treatment(i.e., during the re-entry phase); 4) promotion of psychological adaptation among metastatic breast cancer patients. The overarching goal is to develop theoretically guided, tailored, and transportable breast cancer communications to enhance screening adherence, decision-making, and quality of life across the spectrum of disease (i.e., from risk through treatment to survivorship).

This book was released on 2004-04-12 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Meeting Psychosocial Needs of Women with Breast Cancer, the National Cancer Policy Board of the Institute of Medicine examines the psychosocial consequences of the cancer experience. The book focuses specifically on breast cancer in women because this group has the largest survivor population (over 2 million) and this disease is the most extensively studied cancer from the standpoint of psychosocial effects. The book characterizes the psychosocial consequences of a diagnosis of breast cancer, describes psychosocial services and how they are delivered, and evaluates their effectiveness. It assesses the status of professional education and training and applied clinical and health services research and proposes policies to improve the quality of care and quality of life for women with breast cancer and their families. Because cancer of the breast is likely a good model for cancer at other sites, recommendations for this cancer should be applicable to the psychosocial care provided generally to individuals with cancer. For breast cancer, and indeed probably for any cancer, the report finds that psychosocial services can provide significant benefits in quality of life and success in coping with serious and life-threatening disease for patients and their families.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the number of Americans diagnosed with cancer increases each year, researchers focus on methods to increase cancer awareness. This current study focuses on African American women and the growing need to study breast health communication to increase breast health awareness. Currently African American women experience a higher death rate from breast cancer compared to their white counterparts. According to the American Cancer Society's Cancer Facts and Figures for African Americans Report published in 2007, African American women are 77% likely to survive five years after a breast cancer diagnosis as compared to 90% of their white counterparts. Among the factors that contribute to this disparity include socioeconomics and fear of breast cancer. The researcher has discovered a communication model that is not hindered by the aforementioned factors and allows ideal breast health messages to be disseminated among African American women. The communication model was created from the decentralization and centralization processes of the diffusion of innovation model, which allows for the use of interpersonal communication. The study found that interpersonal communication produces change and builds trust and respect. The researcher anticipates that future researchers will reproduce this model in other areas to tailor to specific health communication needs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: That risk communication ranks high on the policymaking agenda is beyond discussion today. The field is a point of intersection of social communication, practical management and policy making. It covers such diverse activities as to inform and educate the public about risk, and risk management in order to influence attitudes and behaviour, to act in situations of emergency or crises, to aid in decision-making and to assist in conflict resolution. Communication has grown into a major concern in current risk governance based on network co-ordinated management of public affairs conducted by authorities and companies and is recognized as a key component in the government of risk. This is especially salient in policy fields relating to environmental planning and resource management, urban planning, chemical and food regulation, or infrastructure planning, development and maintenance. This book explores risk communication research with a focus on new theoretical perspectives, research findings, and applied goals. It reflects on a broad range of innovative theoretical perspectives, methodological approaches and empirical areas. This book was published as a special issue of the Journal of Risk Research.
