Information and communication needs of Chinese American breast cancer patients: perspectives on survivorship care planning.
The researchers conducted a qualitative study to examine the information and communication needs as well as survivorship care preferences of Chinese American breast cancer survivors. The main themes identified through analysis of interview transcripts were: the need for evidence-based and culturally and linguistically appropriate health information; the role of language or communication barriers and culture in accessing care and communicating with providers; and preferences for care plan elements and format.

Provider-patient communication about adherence to anti-retroviral regimens differs by patient race and ethnicity.
This study directly examined differences in provider–patient communication about anti-retroviral therapy (ART) adherence by patient race or ethnicity. It found more ART adherence dialogue with Black and Hispanic patients than with White patients, even after controlling for indications, and a tendency for adherence dialogue to be more directive in Hispanics than in Whites.
