dc.description.abstract | Chinese immigrant breast cancer survivors face various challenges due to cultural and
socioecological factors. Research efforts to develop culturally sensitive interventions have been
limited by lack of knowledge regarding successful recruitment and implementation practices
among Chinese immigrant populations. This paper documents strategies utilized during the
development and implementation of a randomized controlled trial of a culturally sensitive
psychosocial intervention for Chinese immigrant breast cancer survivors. In partnership with a
community agency, we developed culturally and linguistically appropriate research materials,
recruited participants from community channels, and conducted longitudinal data collection. Key
strategies include building equitable research partnerships with community agencies to engage
participants; being responsive to the needs of community agencies and participants; considering
within-group diversity of the research population; utilizing recruitment as an opportunity for
relationship-building with participants; and developing key strategies to promote retention.
Successful participant engagement in cancer intervention research is the result of collaboration
among breast cancer survivors, community leaders and agencies, and academic researchers. The
engagement process for this study is novel because we have emphasized cultural factors in the
process and taken a relational approach to recruitment and retention. | en_GB |
