Acceptability of current LWABC (Living Well with Advanced Breast Cancer) model
Will utilize a thematic inductive analysis approach to compare and contrast themes across cohorts. Survey items will be summarized by cohort. Means, standard deviations, medians and ranges will be calculated for continuous variables and frequency, percents and 95% confidence intervals will be calculated for categorical variables.
Participant medical history, treatment records, and demographic data
Will utilize a thematic inductive analysis approach to compare and contrast themes across cohorts. Survey items including demographic information and disease characteristics will be summarized by cohort. Means, standard deviations, medians and ranges will be calculated for continuous variables and frequency, percents and 95% confidence intervals will be calculated for categorical variables.
Differences in survivorship care engagement across four distinct cohorts
Will utilize a thematic inductive analysis approach to compare and contrast themes across cohorts. Themes will be compared across each cohort to identify survivorship care needs that will be translated into intervention components for the ABC survivorship program. Survey items will be summarized by cohort. Means, standard deviations, medians and ranges will be calculated for continuous variables and frequency, percents and 95% confidence intervals will be calculated for categorical variables.
