Black and African American patients, as compared to White patients, are diagnosed with colorectal cancer more often and have worse outcomes. We are hoping to develop and test a physical activity intervention specifically addressing the needs of African American colorectal cancer survivors, since physical activity has been found to decrease treatment side effects, improve quality of life and reduce cancer recurrence. First, we will interview 10 participants to understand their experiences going through cancer treatment to develop the physical activity intervention. In the following phase, we will enroll 72 participants in the physical activity intervention.

In Malaysia, a country with one of the largest Muslim populations, the idea of being a househusband in Malaysia is not widely accepted. While research has been done on Muslim attitudes towards women's issues, gender equality, and gender justice, research on the experiences of men and Muslim attitudes towards househusbands are less extensive. The role of househusband raises questions about he feels as a Muslim man in relation to his family and broader Muslim society. The role of househusband is a vantage point through which one can study the experiences of men who do not subscribe to traditional ideals. My research questions are as follows: How do Muslim househusbands in Malaysia generally perceive their role and social position? How do married Muslim men view househusbands?
