在乳腺癌研究中缺乏非洲裔美国女性一直受到极大的关注。本研究旨在确定研究的看法和激励因素，需要增加种族/少数民族参与乳腺癌研究。来自罗得岛和得克萨斯州的57名非裔美国妇女（σ = 47.8岁）完成了问卷调查和焦点小组。虽然许多参与者不是乳腺癌幸存者，但他们报告了他们种族群体患乳腺癌的风险。一个主要的发现，可以被视为既是一个促进者和障碍是参与者和研究人员之间的种族一致性。建议提高文化敏感性和建立信任，以增加少数群体的参与。
Lack of African American females in breast cancer research has been receiving substantial attention. This study seeks to identify research perceptions and motivating factors needed to increase racial/ethnic minority participation in breast cancer research. A total of 57 African American women (sigma = 47.8 years), from Rhode Island and Texas, completed a questionnaire and focus group. While many participants were not breast cancer survivors, they reported knowledge of their racial group's risk for breast cancer. One major finding that could be seen as both a facilitator and barrier is racial concordance between participant and researcher. Cultural sensitivity and trust building is recommended to increase minority participation.
