Preferences in educational topics of interest to women with triple-negative breast cancer: The role of age, race/ethnicity, and stage at diagnosis in topic selection.

2015 
100 Background: Women diagnosed with triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) responded to an online 80-question survey to identify their educational needs. They self-reported breast cancer subtype, demographics, and level of interest in 35 educational topics. Methods: This analysis examined whether demographic factors of women with TNBC diagnosed after 2006 (n = 611) were associated with their topic interest. Interest ratings were collapsed into “Not Interested” and “Interested or Very Interested.” Measures of association between interest in the top 10 TNBC topics and demographic factors were calculated using Phi coefficients (white/non-white) and point biserial correlations (age, cancer stage at diagnosis). False discovery rate adjustments were applied to the significance threshold to account for multiple comparisons. Results: Significant levels of association between personal factors and topic interest were observed for age; younger women were more likely to be interested in breast reconstruction (rpb= -19...
