Panel Presentation and Discussion

Cancer/health communication among Asian Americans

Friday April 28, 2017
DCHC 2017 “Patient-Centered Health Communication” Conference

This research examined cancer/health communication (cancer/health information seeking, patient-provider communication (PPC) satisfaction, cancer screening communication) and breast, cervical, and prostate cancer screening among Asian Americans and five Asian ethnic groups (Chinese, Filipino, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese) in comparison to Whites…

We suggest that Asian Americans need clear, sympathetic, and reliable communication with more time and opportunities to discuss their health with healthcare providers, and predict that this enhanced PPC communication will connect to engagement in cancer screening.
