Characteristics of Asian-American Breast Cancer Survivors Retained in a 3-Month Technology-Based Intervention

Background Technology-based intervention programs are known to be effective in approaching socially excluded groups or racial/ethnic minorities, including this specific population.

Abstract

Background Technology-based intervention programs are known to be effective in approaching socially excluded groups or racial/ethnic minorities, including this specific population. However, the retention of participants in technology-based intervention studies is far more complicated and challenging compared with conventional studies targeting racial/ethnic minorities. Objective This study aimed to identify the complex characteristics of the groups within Asian American breast cancer survivors who were successfully retained in a 3-month technology-based intervention study. Methods This secondary analysis of the data from a larger ongoing intervention study included 155 Asian American breast cancer survivors. Major variables were measured using multiple instruments including the questions on characteristics of the participants, the Personal Resource Questionnaire, perceived isolation, Memorial Symptom Assessment Scale-Short Form, Cancer Behavior Inventory, 34-item Supportive Care Needs Survey Short Form, and Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy Scale–Breast Cancer. Data analyses were done through χ2 tests, t tests, and decision tree analyses. Results The retention rates differed by subethnicity (P = .025), immigration age (P < .001), and stage of breast cancer (P = .003). The decision tree indicated four groups with the highest probability of retention: (a) those who were diagnosed with stage II, III, or IV breast cancer, (b) those who immigrated to the United States after turning 31 years old, and (c) those who had high perceived barriers. Conclusion This study provides directions for future retention strategies for technology-based interventions among Asian American breast cancer survivors. Implications for Practice Participants’ characteristics need to be considered in developing retain strategies for technology-based interventions among Asian American breast cancer survivors.
