PG - 8357-8373 LID - 10.3390/curroncol29110659 [doi] AB - PURPOSE: To evaluate racial/ethnic disparities in patient care experiences (PCEs) among prostate cancer (PCa) survivors. METHODS: This retrospective study used 2007-2015 National Cancer Institute Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results registry data linked to Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems surveys. First survey >/= 6 months post-PCa diagnosis was analyzed. We performed multivariable linear regression, adjusting for demographic and clinical covariates, to evaluate the association of race/ethnicity (non-Hispanic Whites (NHWs), non-Hispanic Black (NHBs), Hispanic, non-Hispanic Asian (NHAs), and other races) with PCE composite measures: getting needed care, doctor communication, getting care quickly, getting needed prescription drugs (Rx), and customer service. RESULTS: Among 7319 PCa survivors, compared to NHWs, Hispanics, NHBs and NHAs reported lower scores for getting care quickly (ss = -3.69; p = 0.002, ss = -2.44; p = 0.021, and ss = -6.44; p < 0.001, respectively); Hispanics scored worse on getting needed care (ss = -2.16; p = 0.042) and getting needed Rx (ss = -2.93; p = 0.009), and NHAs scored worse on customer service (ss = -7.60; p = 0.003), and getting needed Rx (ss = -3.08; p = 0.020). However, NHBs scored better than NHWs on doctor communication (ss = 1.95, p = 0.006). No statistically significant differences were found between other races and NHWs. CONCLUSIONS: Comparing to NHWs, Hispanics and NHAs reported worse experiences on several PCE composite measures, while NHBs reported worse scores on one but better scores on another PCE composite measure. Further research is needed to understand the reasons behind these disparities and their influence on healthcare utilization and health outcomes among PCa survivors.
