Objective: To evaluate Latina breast cancer patient perspectives regarding informed decision making related to surgical treatment decision making for breast cancer.Methods: 2030 women with non-metastatic breast cancer diagnosed From 8/05 to 5/06 and reported to the Los Angeles metropolitan SEER registries were mailed a Survey shortly after Surgical treatment. Latina and African-American women were over-sampled. We conducted regression Of four decision Outcome to evaluate associations between race/ethnicity, demographic and clinical factors, and mechanistic variables (i.e., health literacy) and decision outcomes.Results: Our analytic sample was 877 women: 24.5% Latina-Spanish speaking (Latina-SP), 20.5% Latina-English speaking, 24% African-American and 26.6% Caucasian. Approximately 28% of women in each ethnic group reported a surgeon-based, 36% a shared, and 36% a patient-based surgery decision. Spanish-preferent Latina women had the greatest odds of high decision dissatisfaction and regret controlling for other factors (OR 5.5. 95% Cl: 2.9, 10.5 and OR 4.1, 95% Cl: 2.2, 8.0, respectively). Low health literacy was independently associated with dissatisfaction and regret (OR 5.6, 95% 0:2.9, 11.1 and OR 3.5, 95% Cl 1.8, 7.1, respectively) and slightly attenuated associations between Latina-SP ethnicity and decision Outcomes,.Conclusion: Despite similar clinical outcomes, patients report very different experiences with treatment decision making. Latina women, especially those who prefer Spanish, are vulnerable to poor breast cancer treatment decision outcomes.Practice implications: Providers need to be aware of the role of ethnicity, acculturation and literacy in breast cancer treatment discussions.
