About this study
The purpose of this study is to find out whether factors that lead Women of Color to decline participation in the breast cancer screening trial EA1151 (TMIST) differ from non-women of color.
Read the detailed description
In a population of women who decline participation in TMIST (EAQ201 participants), we will compare the proportion of WOC vs non-WOC with respect to who experience COVID-related financial hardship, a composite endpoint defined as any psychological response (financial distress, food/housing insecurity) or change in their material condition. We hypothesize that COVID-19 related financial hardship and distress are more prevalent in WOC who decline TMIST participation compared to non-WOC who decline participation.

Complete the survey questions
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Women of Color (WOC) Who Decline TMIST | Women of Color (WOC) who decline TMIST will be asked to fill out a survey with questions about demographics, income and employment, attitudes and experiences about COVID-19, and emotional well-being. Receives: Other: Questionnaire | |
| Non-[Women of Color (WOC)] | Non-[Women of Color (WOC)] who decline TMIST will be asked to fill out a survey with questions about demographics, income and employment, attitudes and experiences about COVID-19, and emotional well-being. Receives: Other: Questionnaire |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Compare the Proportion of Women of Color (WOC) Participants Who Experience the Composite Outcome of COVID-related Financial Hardship vs Non-WOC Participants
Composite outcome, defined as the logistic modeling of personal changes due to COVID: including layoff or furlough, insurance loss, work hours reduction, new job/increased hours to increase income, food or housing insecurity OR household changes due to COVID: greater or equal to 20% income lose, savings use for living expenses, home sale/refinance, increased debt, declared bankruptcy
Measured: at baseline
Secondary outcomes (3)
Compare the Proportions of WOC vs Non-WOC Participants With COVID-related Change in Their Material Condition, a Composite Measure
Outcome is the result of a logistic regression with covariates: >20% income loss, savings use, home sale or refinance, loans, reaching credit limits, becoming subject to a collection agency, or bankruptcy in the last 3 months (binary)
Measured: at baseline
Compare the Proportions of WOC vs Non-WOC Participants With COVID-specific Perceived Financial Distress
Adapted from the summary item from COST measure "COVID-19 has been a financial hardship to my family" rated from 0="Not at all" to 4="Very much" Larger Values indicate greater hardship
Measured: at baseline
Compare the Proportion of WOC in TMIST Participants vs EAQ201 Participants
The proportions will be determined by calculating the number of women who self-report as non-White versus the total number of participants enrolled.
Measured: baseline
