An Evaluation of Racial and Ethnic Representation in Research Conducted with Young Adults Diagnosed with Cancer
Practical Solutions and Value
- Research found that young adults with cancer from diverse racial and ethnic groups are under-represented, leading to incomplete understanding of their psychosocial outcomes.
- Using data from the Young Adults with Cancer in Their Prime (YACPRIME) study, the research aimed to understand the psychosocial outcomes for those from diverse racial and ethnic groups.
- 622 participants completed an online survey, and the study found statistically significant differences in spiritual change among different racial and ethnic groups.
- Challenges and limitations of interpreting these findings were discussed, and key recommendations for researchers to promote equity, inclusivity, and cultural responsiveness in future work were outlined.
