Research has focused on white samples, limiting our understanding of the unique health-related quality of life outcomes of African American breast cancer survivors (BCSs). Even when African American BCSs have been targeted, research is limited by small samples and failure to include comparisons of peerswithout a history of breast cancer.</p><p><a href="http://nursefacultyscholars.org/research-library/health-related-quality-life-african-american-breast-cancer-survivors-compared-healt" target="_blank">read more</a></p> African Americans Breast neoplasm female quality of life survivors African Americans Breast neoplasm female Quality of Life Survivors Thu, 28 Mar 2013 15:38:42 +0000 kdeming 767 at http://nursefacultyscholars.org
