Prostate Cancer Treatment Decisions for Black Patients

The purpose of this research study is to better understand, from the perspective of Black patients, whether telemedicine visits make prostate cancer decision making easier or harder. The COVID-19 pandemic made it more difficult for patients to see their doctors, but care could continue by having appointments via a computer or phone, which many prostate cancer doctors used. Whether in person or remote, successfully choosing a treatment for prostate cancer often uses shared decision making (SDM), the process where doctors and patients work together to make decisions that match what matters to patients, but it is unknown whether virtual appointments make discussions better or worse. Other studies have shown that Black patients may be less satisfied with their treatment choices than non-Black patients. Therefore, it is important that we understand how to improve the same quality of care for Black patients.

Evaluación a distancia para bebés y niños latinos

Para nuestro proyecto, estamos estudiando una evaluación del desarrollo infantil que pueda hacerse a distancia desde la casa de la familia. Esta se llama "Evaluación del neurodesarrollo con ayuda de los padres" o "PANDABox", según su acrónimo. PANDABox se ha usado con familias que hablan inglés, pero no se había traducido al español hasta ahora. De modo que hay dos razones por las que estamos haciendo nuestro estudio: primero, traducir la evaluación al español; y segundo, probar la evaluación con familias latinas con bebés que podrían beneficiarse de una evaluación del desarrollo. Después de probar la evaluación, les preguntaremos a las familias cómo fueron sus experiencias y si tienen alguna sugerencia para mejorarla. En general, esperamos mejorar la evaluación PANDABox en cuanto al idioma y la cultura de las familias que hablan español.
